An incredible comeback against West Ham came completely out of the blue, or did it? Newcastle had been performing well in their first game following a squad 'reset' over the international break, but some haphazard defending and yet more freak injuries had us wondering if the season was shuddering to a halt.
But, after Isak coolly slotted home his second penalty (both won by Anthony Gordon), it was Harvey Barnes to the rescue... cue pandemonium at SJP. Can the podcast team hold it together like they usually don't?
On Sunday, Newcastle's women returned to home action for the first time in 42 days and they delivered in style. With Nottingham Forest only able to draw at Derby, the Lasses (TM) are one win from back-to-back league titles.
