A late Alexander Isak header clinched a 1-0 win for Newcastle United against Fulham - as Eddie Howe side’s moved back up to third in the Premier League table.
Isak struck in the 89th-minute when Sean Longstaff’s delivery was headed back across goal by Callum Wilson and tapped home from three yards.
The Sweden international scored 20 minutes after Aleksander Mitrovic comically missed a penalty for the visitors.
Indeed, the game sprung into life in the 70th-minute when Kieran Trippier was penalised for a foul on Bobby Decordova-Reid after a VAR check.
A penalty was awarded and incredibly Mitrovic missed after his effort hit off both his feet before going into the back of the net.
Substitute Isak then found a winner late on - his third goal in four league appearances.

6. Bruno Guimaraes - 6
Played a defence-splitting pass to Longstaff in the opening stages but his afternoon was ruined by an ankle injury. In tears as he was replaced by Saint-Maximin at half-time. | Getty Images
7. Sean Longstaff - 7
Denied a fifth minute opener after a superb last ditch block by Issa Diop but identical to midweek missed a great chance with a rising effort. His cross led to Isak’s winner. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Joe Willock - 6
There was one instance in the first half when he burst past Kenny Tete and created a dangerous opening but Willock didn’t utilise his pace enough. | AFP via Getty Images
