An awful run of form by the Magpies saw them lose for the fourth successive time - defeat at Bramall Lane meaning that they had conceded 15 goals in that run.

Writing in the Sunday Sun, ex-Magpie Colin Veitch was unimpressed by either United:

"Altogether it was a game of workmen; real craftsmanship and dexterity with the tools of the trade were generally conspicuous by their absence."

The Peruvian then centred again and with the Croatian well-placed to shoot, Alan Shearer's well-timed run saw him arrive to fire home.

However, the injury woes of Bobby Robson's side showed no sign of ending, as he was able to field Marcelino, Sandro Pistone and Duncan Ferguson but lost both Warren Barton and Kieron Dyer during the game.

United's proud unbeaten record on wearside was ended after 12 games, or 28 years & 6 months. This was also their first top-flight reverse there since March 1967.

Shola Ameobi's header raised hopes of a second successive draw here, but Kieran Richardson's free kick flew past Shay Given to win it for Roy Keane's side. 

However, that shouldn't have been a shock - Match of the Day highlighting him hitting a post once and seeing another free kick wrongly ruled out the previous weekend.

And if anyone missed that, the cover of the match programme for this game also featured a photo of the latter effort. D'Oh!

2010 From the BBC:

Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has admitted assaulting a man in a nightclub.

At Newcastle Crown Court the 21-year-old pleaded guilty to common assault and was fined £1,000. He was also ordered to pay £2,500 compensation.

The court heard he threw his drink over Michael Cook in Newcastle nightclub Blu Bambu in December.

Carroll said his glass accidentally slipped out of his hand and caused a cut to Mr Cook's eyebrow. He was also ordered to pay court costs of nearly £1,500.

Carroll had earlier denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm - that charge dropped when he pleaded guilty to the lesser offence.

Another new mackem boss used the wear-Tyne derby to register a first victory; United on the wrong end of a 0-3 defeat that simply defied logic and belief.

The fact that it was former Mag manager Sam Allardyce, made it even more galling but referee Bobby Madley's awful decision to send off Fabricio Coloccini and award a penalty in first half stoppage time was decisive. 

The dismissal was later rescinded, while the spot-kick was converted by soon-to-be convicted paedophile, Adam Johnson, still allowed to play by a club that already had in its possession overwhelming evidence that would eventually see him jailed.

With the score 1-1 and added time fast approaching, livewire substitute Will Osula's shot was blocked by visiting 'keeper Bernd Leno - only for the lurking Bruno Guimaraes to fire home the loose ball into the Gallowgate End net.

That was enough for Eddie Howe's side to claim their second win of the week and register back-to-back Premier League home successes for the first time of the season.
