As a result they secured passage to the fourth round of the FA Cup, put one foot in the EFL Cup final and propelled themselves into the Premier Leauge’s European positions.
But last Saturday the good mood around St James’ Park was somewhat extinguished in a 4-1 loss to Bournemouth, courtesy of a Justin Kluivert hat-trick.
It was a scintillating performance from the Cherries who were inventive and tenacious in attack and Eddie Howe will hope that defeat was a one-off and not a sign of things to come.
Newcastle’s form beforehand suggests it was indeed just an anomaly and they should be too strong for their next opponents Southampton, who have been bottom of the table since November.
