Newcastle United Records 'Biggest Ever' PL Victory In Sheffield United Thrashing
Newcastle United recorded their biggest-ever Premier League victory after a Dazzling 8-0 over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Sunday.
Eddie Howe’s men secured the victory with eight different players scoring to leave the home side bottom of the Premier League standings.
Newcastle went in front when early substitute Anthony Gordon kept the ball in play on the goal line and found Sean Longstaff, who fired home.
They doubled their lead at the half-hour mark from a corner when Dan Burn peeled away from his marker despite having his shirt tugged and headed in Kieran Trippier’s cross at the far post.
Four minutes later, Trippier turned provider again from another set piece, this time from a free kick, as Sven Botman directed a glancing header into the back of the net.
The English fullback then got his third assist of the game and his first from open play when he found space on the right wing and crossed the ball for Callum Wilson to head home from close range.
Gordon curled in Newcastle’s fifth from outside the box, which prompted Blades fans to head for the exits just after the hour mark, before Miguel Almirón ran circles around the defense to net Newcastle’s sixth with help from Bruno Guimarães.
Guimaraes then got on the scoresheet himself when the ball fell kindly to him in the box from a rebound and he fired home before substitute Alexander Isak completed the rout with a late strike.
