All is not fixed at Newcastle United, and the summer will prove pivotal, but it was buoying to see the team work together smoothly and dominate in attack for the majority of the game.

Nick Daws is excited to "play a key role in Motherwell's continued evolution" after being appointed the club's head of football. "Having the opportunity to play a key role in Motherwell's continued evolution and support a talented, committed group of people is an exciting proposition."
BBC Radio Newcastle's Nick Barnes says some of the football played in Saturday's home draw against Manchester United was "the best we've seen from Sunderland this season". Despite failing to find the net in the goalless stalemate, the Black Cats limited United to just one shot on target, had higher possession and registered an xG (expected goals) of 1.17 compared to the visitor's 0.66.
This was an afternoon when Eddie Howe's big calls paid off when he needed them most. The head coach justifiably kept faith with the bulk of players who put in an improved performance in a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal last week. Having again decided to name £124m worth of forwards on the bench, in Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, Osula repaid the faith of his manager once more with the opener.
