Opinion

Saturday afternoon’s match ended Newcastle 2 Fulham 1.

Ahead of each match we ask one of our writers to come up with three positives and three negatives following the game.

Plenty to talk about after this one!

On this occasion it is ‘Matt Busby said to Joe Harvey…’:

POSITIVES

Osula

The lad didn’t have long to make an impact, but make an impact he did, with his constant harrying and that run across the box that led to his parried shot teeing up Bruno for the winner.

Well done Will, often maligned, but as with that equaliser at home to the Scousers, his contribution on Saturday was huge.

Three Points

We made hard work of that but got there in the end.

We missed some really great chances, hit the woodwork twice and their keeper made a couple of excellent saves, the one from Tonali late on being the pick of them.

It really should have been a comfortable win against a very physical Fulham but the headlines will instead dwell on that injury time strike from Bruno.

We know it isn’t easy to do when the opponent is resting midweek and has time out...
