I won't share your joy but I think Westwood might have done better as it was right over his head although he was a bit off his line (26 seconds in to the video)

A keeper will never like to be beaten by that kind of goal but it had an almost freakish loop on it. I wouldn't blame him at all.

Interviewed today in the Independent: 'My Dad will always be there with me, he's in my thoughts every day. A lot of my traits come from him'

Red carded at St James Park. Bad day at the office for John.

I've read it was a ridiculous red card. Both managers agreed afterwards, although his own manager more than Bruce of course

Sheffield Utd with the season they have had are entitled to a bad day at the office. Maybe their system just needs more drill than others ! ! !

His first yellow was. His defending in the lead up to his second was pantomime.

Egan scores his first of the season, making him the twelfth Irish player to score in the Premier League this season, the first time that many players have scored in a single season since 2012/13
Also, it's the 23rd goal scored by an Irish player in the current season, equalling the total from 2018/19

Great finish too, if one of our young strikers had done that we'd be raving about it.

First Irish goal in the Premier League since the lockdown I think, it took long enough to come and then came from an unlikely source when it did.
