Newcastle United co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi has posted a 14-word endorsement of the the Magpies’ charge towards the Champions League following yet another emphatic win in the Premier League.

United cruised to yet another top flight three points, again making it look easy against Southampton, walking away from the south coast with a 4-1 win. Goals from Miguel Almiron, Chris Wood and Joe Willock put Newcastle well on the way to the win before Romain Perraud netted a consolation. Bruno Guimaraes then netted his third of the campaign with the late winner.

And it’s fair to say the victory went down well with the United ownership. Ghodoussi, from his Twitter account, posted: “Love these guys, hearts of lions. We keep going, a game at a time.”

The PCP Capital Partners director’s message came after fellow co-owner Jamie Reuben expressed his own joy at the result. He said: “What a team - thank you to the traveling supporters for making the long journey - Up the Mags.”
