Miguel Almiron of Newcastle United scores his sides first goal during the FA Cup Fifth Round match between West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United
What an important goal that could prove t o be. Miguel Almiron has scored Newcastle’s first goal since the last time they played in the FA Cup, at Oxford United last month, and it’s well-deserved.
While Steve Bruce named a strong side packed with internationals, the players have shown the right attitude at the Hawthorns and are playing with the intensity Bruce will have demanded from them.
Allan Saint-Maximin and Joelinton have both had good chances from opportunities created out of nothing – Saint-Maximin shooting from range and Joellinton winning the ball back before lettiny fly – but Almiron’s goal capped a brilliant through ball from Saint-Maximin.
