WIJNALDUM SCORES FOUR, AS NEWCASTLE PICK UP MAXIMUM POINTS
Georginio Wijnaldum scored four times on Sunday, as Newcastle United romped to a 6-2 win at home to Norwich City, in front of the St James’ Park crowd.
The Dutchman, who signed from PSV in the transfer window, opened the scoring after 14 minutes, before restoring United’s lead 12 minutes later.
Spaniard Ayonzo Perez netted Newcastle third just after the half-hour, with Nathan Redmond scoring a second for Norwich a minute later.
But the day was to belong to Wijnaldum, who added his fourth after 66 minutes, before completing the scoring after 85 minutes, a result which eases the pressure on Magpies manager, Steve McClaren.
