00:00 Newcastle United 3-0 Fulham, he had to change James' park this afternoon and that was a big win for Eddie Howe's side.

00:06 The manager mentioned himself in the press conference and that was a big moment in the season and it's hard to argue that.

00:12 Not used to losing games under Eddie Howe but they came into this on the back of three successive defeats.

00:18 Of course the two games away to Everton and Tottenham and of course that Champions League exit in midweek.

00:24 It was really important Newcastle United reacted today and they did that certainly in the second half.

00:30 I thought the first half was fairly even although Fulham were down to ten men.

00:34 Raúl Jiménez was sent off for a recklessly high challenge on Sean Longstaff.

00:39 The referee initially gave a yellow card but then was instructed to go and review the decision at the pitch side monitor.

00:45 That decision was quickly changed, straight red for Jiménez.

00:49 Both sides had chances and deservedly leveled at the break.

00:55 After half-time Newcastle once again got that opener through Lewis Miley.

01:00 Incredible moment for him, 17 years of age, if you didn't already know.

01:05 A really special talent and I'm sure that will be the first of many goals in black and white for him.

01:12 Not just his goal today but his overall performance.

01:15 Bruno Gimaraes in that midfield was absolutely excellent.

01:19 The two standout players really dragged Newcastle to victory in the end.

01:24 Again it was a tired, depleted Newcastle United side by the end.

01:29 They had to bounce back from first-half injuries to Fabian Scherr and Joel Linden.

01:34 Emil Kraft and Miley came on.

01:39 The only negative from today is that the numbers are dropping again.

01:46 They've got Sven Bottmann back and Dan Burns started but you've got two players there who are big players for this club.

01:53 Eddie Howard was asked about that at the end and he hopes they're not serious so we'll have to wait and see.

01:59 They've already got out Alexander Isaac before the game.

02:02 It was an evening of a high of winning the Premier League game and moving up to sixth in the table.

02:09 A seventh in consecutive league win here but also the low of losing two players to injuries.

02:14 A mixed evening overall but in terms of the results Newcastle couldn't have asked for anything better.
