Newcastle United duo Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa joined an elite list of players that have scored goals at the World Cup finals during their time with the Magpies over the last week.
For Wissa, that meant creating a little bit of history for his country as the former Brentford striker netted DR Congo’s first ever World Cup finals goal in their 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. Much like Wissa, winger Elanga endured an underwhelming and disappointing first season on Tyneside - but he also found the net at the finals when he came off the bench to grab a consolation in Sweden’s 5-1 defeat against the Netherlands on Saturday night.
There are a number of other Magpies players that have found the net throughout the history of the World Cup finals - and there are some legendary figures and some unexpected names on the list.
