Newcastle United recorded a priceless win against Swansea City on Saturday.

Goals from defender Jamaal Lascelles and midfielders Moussa Sissoko and Andros Townsend gave the Magpies the vital three points, as they made the most of Norwich City’s defeat to Sunderland earlier in the day.

The Tyneside club have been awful at corners over the last few years, but they scored their first two from set-pieces against the Welsh side.

Lascelles showed excellent heart and determination to reach the ball first to score his, while Sissoko capatalised on a rebound following an Aleksandar Mitrovic header to put away his first goal of the season.

Andros Townsend then slotted one past the Swansea goalkeeper after Mitrovic had played him in to wrap up the game.
