Steve Bruce failing to take advantage of this start though and going far too negative, allowing a poor West Brom the greater control of the match.

This was eventually punished with a well taken equaliser five minutes into the second-half and for a long time it looked as though Newcastle had little in response.

A stronger bench proved the difference as a superb Jacob Murphy cross was met by an even better Dwight Gayle header with only eight minutes remaining.
