Instead, though, Almirón has been part of the steady improvement at the club under Howe. “It’s just great he’s getting in goalscoring areas. But perception in some quarters that he wasn’t a successful signing for Newcastle raised doubts as to whether players could make such a step up.

Newcastle won by four goals (again). Brazil's coach turned up. Only Neymar is better than Almiron. Just another new normal day for Newcastle.
