Also worth noting both Sean Longstaff and Miguel Almiron put in sublime performances for Newcastle yesterday. Jonjo Shelvey is as good as finished.

The front three of Rondon, Perez and Almiron look at home already and Longstaff is so solid in the middle. His passing is incredible for a youngster and he's got suhh a promising future. Could well see his first England call up in the next round of friendlies.

The next issue is Leicester have sacked Puel and we're understanding they did so because they have the utmost confidence they can sign Benitez. Something is about to give at at Newcastle. Mike Ashley may finally relent in order for Benitez to stay or we'll get the final nail in the coffin to indicate there's no real plan for this club other than to survive relegation and produce profit.
