    Georginio Wijnaldum

    Wow. What. A. Strike.

    Georginio Wijnaldum receives the ball on the left, cuts inside and fires into the top corner via 25 yards. The ball takes a slight deflection off Steven Whittaker but it is still Wijnaldum's goal. Four for him. Incredible.

    Here come Newcastle. Georginio Wiljnaldum breaks with pace, he feeds Aleksandar Mitrovic, but is just unable to get on the end of the cross.

    Some electric counter attack play by the Magpies.

    And still Norwich push at St James' Park. Their woeful defending has left them with far too much to do.

    Newcastle won't care - they almost have their first win...

    Aleksandar Mitrovic's thumping strike for Newcastle's fourth was Alan Shearer-esque.

    The striker wears 45 because four and five adds up to nine - Shearer's number.Nice.

    Have a look at his goal below.

    It was an inch perfect cross from Daryl Janmaat and you would think that is game over. It is really naive from Norwich, they have been so open at the back.

    The fourth was a tremendous goal. There has been some bad defending but Moussa Sissoko picks Aleksandar Mitorovic out and he put his foot through it. Steve McClaren will breathe a sign of relief.

    Georginio Wijnaldum

    Newcastle have gone goal crazy. 

    Surely game over now as Georginio Wijnaldum completes his hat trick.

    A cross from Daryl Janmaat from the left and the Dutchman rises to head home.

    No nerves around St James' now.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic

    That should ease the nerves...

    Newcastle, who have been on the back foot all half, have a two-goal cushion.

    Moussa Sissoko is at the heart of it again as he chips the ball through to Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Serbian chests the ball down and thumps a volley into the back of the net. Brilliant.
