The stats are nuts.

We had 13 first team players either unavailable via injury, banned for betting or on the bench for the Man U match.

With Willock registering his first of the season and Hall scoring his first EVER senior team goal, Newcastle United Football Club have registered 14 different goal scorers.

All different positions, all different types of goals from all different types of players.

We rested the entire first team bar Miggy & Gordon who are both racehorses in peak physical fitness for vast majority of the game.

It's mint and nuts the further away we get from the dark days of just 2 and a half years ago.

Long may it continue. In Eddie we trust!
