Newcastle United finally grabbed their first win of the 2018-19 English Premier League campaign at Watford’s expense on Saturday.
The narrow 1-0 victory temporarily lifted the Magpies out of the drop zone, and it, without no doubt, came as a huge relief.
Ayoze Perez came off the bench to grab the winner in the 65th, and while the Spaniard deserves all the plaudits for making the difference, his goal wouldn’t have been possible without Ki Sung-Yueng’s perfect free-kick.
The South Korean replaced the injured Jonjo Shelvey during the second-half, and he is hoping his performance convinced manager Rafa Benitez having started just two league games since arriving from Swansea in the summer.
