Newcastle 2 Fulham 0
IT has finally arrived. The wait is over. Kevin Keegan finally has a win to celebrate as manager in his second spell in charge of Newcastle United.
At the tenth time of asking, the Magpies finally turned in a display worthy of three points and it is a victory which has strengthened their arm on the relegation front.
This could well be a sign of things to come between now and the end of the season. A three-pronged attack that means the opponents have to worry about Newcastle, rather than the other way around.
It is worth nothing that Fulham look a team destined for the Championship. Nevertheless, given the run without a win on Tyneside, noone was taking the visitors lightly.
But with Mark Viduka holding the line and delivering a terrific opener inside six minutes, the Magpies were given a platform to build on.
This was by no means an exceptional Newcastle display, but Michael Owen's downward header seven minutes before the end gained just rewards.
The relegation fight is far from won, but with the long wait for a win over, supporters on Tyneside must finally be looking to the future again.
