    "A really enjoyable half of football. It's 1-1 just now but Newcastle shaded it for me. Now Steve McClaren has got something to get his teeth into with the goal, will he be going for it in the second half? I suspect he will be."

  7. Soares' debutpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 9 August 2015

    Newcastle 1-1 Southampton

    I just mentioned he was industrious and just look at Cedric Soares'  first-half heat map.

    The Portugal full-back is having an impressive debut so far and is enjoying getting forward.

    Looks like Southampton found a good replacement for Nathaniel Clyne.

    Honours even at St James' Park.

    Papiss Cisse cancels out Graziano Pelle's opener.

    Almost a lovely goal, the industrious Cedric Soares gets into the box and hooks the ball to Dusan Tadic who shoots over the bar.

    "Maarten Stekelenburg misjudged the cross so badly that there must have been a deflection on it. It went right over him and Papiss Cisse could not miss from there. Steve McClaren probably had a half-time team talk all planned out, but it's suddenly become a lot easier. Newcastle have deserved that."

    Massadio Haidara's cross takes an unfortunate deflection off Sadio Mane and past Maarten Stekelenburg, leaving Papiss Cisse to chest the ball into an open net.

    "Chancel Mbemba, the players he's up against in the air are starting to bully him. He looks a good player, strong, but in the air he's giving away three inches. He's not able to cope with Southampton's aerial threat - especially not against Graziano Pelle."

     Sadio Mane has a wild shot from outside the box but it is high and wide.

    Fabricio Coloccini almost puts Papiss Cisse through before the Senegal striker then falls over in the box, he appeals for a penalty, but the more likely scenario is he fell over his own feet.

    A great start to the season for Graziano Pelle. Have a look at how his goal was scored below...

    The striker, number 18, gets on the end of Cedric Soares' cross.

    Huge appeal for handball and Newcastle fans aren't happy.

    Papiss Cisse tries to guide a corner into the box with his head, the ball hits Jay Rodriguez, but has it hit his arm, difficult to say.

    Steve McClaren has now made his way down from the director's box to the dugout.

    "That was just about Graziano Pelle's first touch of the game.There wasn't an awful lot of power on the header but the technique was perfect - it was so low down Tim Krul couldn't get down to it."

    Six touches, one goal, for Southampton striker Graziano Pelle.
