WHAT HAPPENED
Mohamed Elneny's first-ever Premier League goal has given us a well-deserved half-time lead in an entertaining game at St James' Park.
The goal came inside the opening five minutes - our fastest in the Premier League so far this season. Gabriel Martinelli had already sent in one cross for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a positive opening, and with our next attack we found the net.
A wonderful pass from David Luiz found Hector Bellerin on the right. His cross wouldn't fall for Aubameyang, but the half clearance fell straight to Elneny on the edge of the area, and his shot was too hot for Martin Dubravka to handle
We've seen the Egyptian score some great goals in European football, but this was his first in the league - on his 66th appearance in the competition.
