From jubilation to frustration: 10 of the best quotes from Newcastle fans on Sunday

Newcastle United's return to action for the first time after the takeover deal went through was dampened by a rampant Tottenham Hotspur side.

Fans were jubilant before kick-off and arrived at St. James' Park hours ahead of time to drink in the atmosphere.

It looked to be the dream day too as the match got underway, Callum Wilson making the stadium erupt with a second-minute goal.

The fixture ended 3-2 as Spurs' prolific Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min did the damage, and Magpies' fans left home rather less ecstatic than at 4:30 pm.

Nonetheless, Sunday remained a landmark day in the football club's history.
