Newcastle 2-1 West Brom
by Harry de Cosemo

 

FORMER loanee Dwight Gayle came back to haunt West Brom on Saturday as Newcastle ended a difficult couple of weeks with a 2-1 win.

There had been fears that the game wouldn’t go ahead after Newcastle were hit by a high number of coronavirus cases, but they were still able to put out a strong side.
