Match Commentary

90'
Jerome goes close at the end, but the final whistle is blown and Newcastle celebrate a crushing 6-2 victory. Wijnaldum and Sissoko was sensational, with Perez and Mitrovic a fine supporting cast as Norwich wilted in the second half. Steve McClaren will be delighted with the Magpies' first win of the season, while Alex Neil will be hugely concerned at some atrocious defending from the Canaries.
90'
Three minutes of stoppage time for Newcastle fans to rejoice, and for the Norwich players to prevent more humiliation.
89'
Newcastle want seven -- Perez looks for Wijnaldum who is set for five goals, but the pass in the area is cut out.
