It ended Newcastle 3 Sheffield United 0.

A fairly even first 50 minutes suddenly seeing the game totally turn in the space of five minutes.

Former Sunderland defender getting a second yellow card after fouling Joelinton.

Only five minutes later and a harmless low cross was totally missed by Enda Stevens, leaving Allan Saint-Maximin with a simple finish from ten yards.

A professional NUFC job from that point, apart from Billy Sharp somehow missing with a free header from six yards out which would have levelled things.

An excellent left foot shot and close range finish from Joelinton then providing a comfortable final scoreline.

The Brazilian having totally messed up a simple chance when one on one with the keeper in the first half.

Watch the official highlights here to see for yourself how it all played out.
