The Spanish along with Coloccini give Pardew’s men fifth straight win
Newcastle United's Spanish player Ayoze Perez celebrates scoring their first goal during the English Premier League soccer match at the Hawthorns, West Bromwich, England
London: Newcastle United’s impressive revival continued as they climbed into seventh place in the English Premier League table with a 2-0 win away to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.Goals from Ayoze Perez and Fabricio Coloccini at The Hawthorns saw north-east side Newcastle, who struggled at the start of the season, extend their unbeaten league run to five straight games a sequence that now includes four successive victories.
Perez put Newcastle ahead on the stroke of half-time when, from 12 yards out, he skilfully backheeled in Daryl Janmaat’s cross.Elsewhere, Stoke City also moved up into the top half of the table with a 2-1 victory away to Tottenham Hotspur that ended the north London club’s run of three straight wins in all competitions. Sunday’s other early kick-off match in the English top flight saw Sunderland and Everton share the points in a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light.
Late last-night, Sergio Aguero spared Manchester City another embarrassing defeat as the Argentine striker's late equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw against QPR on Saturday.
Aguero netted his second goal of a dramatic encounter with just three minutes left at rain-lashed Loftus Road, but this was another alarmingly sloppy display from the struggling Premier League champions. Juan Mata came on as a substitute to score in the 67th minute and give Manchester United a much-needed 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
