Joe Willock scored for the sixth consecutive Premier League game as Newcastle beat Sheffield United 1-0 on the night that fans returned to St James' Park. But it was Sheffield United with the first clear opening of the game and David McGoldrick, relatively impressive for the bottom club this season, who should have found the breakthrough. There was only one change for Sheffield United - Jayden Bogle coming in for George Baldock, who was not in the matchday squad. There was nothing Ramsdale could do to stop Willock's close-range header - the on-loan Arsenal man becoming the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games. Joe Willock became only the third Newcastle player to score in six consecutive Premier League appearances, following Papiss Cissé in April 2012 (6) and Alan Shearer in November 1996 (7).
