Newcastle finally win on the road. Deservedly too. Elanga was great, Howe's gambles paid off, but did we learn much about Ramsdale? Full-time thoughts and analysis here.

Across PL, a lot of big summer signings have struggled - I can’t think of many better than Malick Thiaw. Newcastle thought they were getting a technical CB who may need time to adjust - but he’s excelled physically & athletically. At £35m, he could be the league’s best £-for-£.

For all NUFC have been clinical & bright in final third, that back four (playing together as 4 for 1st time) gives them such a solid foundation. No surprise to see Burn back to early season best at LCB. He & Thiaw look perfect pairing. Miley showing why he deserves more mins too.
