Goals from Almiron and Lazaro sealed a memorable victory for Steve Bruce’s side.
Newcastle did well to grind out the result after their initial collapse. They were 3-0 up at one point but WBA scored late on in the game to put the away side under pressure.
Bruce will be delighted with his team’s showing and Lazaro’s performance, in particular, was pretty impressive.
The winger took to Twitter to share a message after the game and the Newcastle fans have now reacted to it.
His tweet read:
Lazaro will be looking to build on this performance and impress in the Premier League now.
