Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to the win that effectively makes them safe from relegation, and they’re running out of superlatives for Fabian Schar.
Newcastle recovered from some woeful away form to take three points away from The King Power Stadium on Friday night, as Ayoze Perez’s first half strike was enough for all three points.
The Magpies hadn’t won away from home since December when they beat Huddersfield 1-0, but Perez darted in front of Wes Morgan to flick a wonderful Matt Ritchie cross beyond the gloves of Kasper Schmeichel in the first half.

From then onwards it was the perfect away performance from Rafael Benitez’s side, defending admirably and counter-attacking whenever possible. Of course, the next step is to turn some of those counters into a second and third goal.
And while the whole team was organised and diligent in their defensive duties, no one impressed more than Schar, who has gone from strength to strength since joining for just £3m last summer.
The 27 year-old made four tackles, six interceptions and seven clearances per Whoscored, and while Mike Ashley is infamous for his penny-pinching transfer tactics, fans are heaping praise on the masterful £3m swoop for Schar.

Aston Villa fans must be loving life at this moment in time as their side continue to dominate proceedings in the Championship, with a play-off spot now secured.
The Villans’ rise in form can be put down to a number of players, including the likes of Tammy Abraham, John McGinn, Jack Grealish and Tyrone Mings. All of the players listed above should arguably be playing in the Premier League and still could next season, so securing promotion will be vital.
Steve Bruce may not be adored by fans at Aston Villa but one thing they can’t ignore is the fact he secured the services of John McGinn for just £2.59 million (as per Transfermarkt).
It’s safe to say that signing the Scotsman has proved to be a genius decision as he’s already left his mark on proceedings in the Championship in what is his first season at the club. He’s produced six goals and 10 assists in the current campaign, which is quite astonishing when you consider the fact he operates in the middle of midfield.
McGinn has already repaid the Villans’ for the fee they paid back in the summer transfer window and he could still go on to attract a big fee if the Midlands club were to ever sell him in the future.
But, right now, he’s absolutely priceless at Villa Park. His passing ability in the middle of midfield has worked wonders up until this point, as well as his forward runs to help support Tammy Abraham. Also, he’s a great player to have in the defensive third as he adopts a dogged approach and always gives his all when tracking back.
He’s the kind of player who could fit into any side and do a quality job, so Aston Villa will forever be thankful for Bruce’s decision to bring him to Villa Park back in the summer.
Aston Villa fans, surely McGinn has to be one of the signings of the summer? Join in with the discussion by commenting down below!

Liverpool fans on Twitter have been reacting to the latest Champions League performance of club captain Jordan Henderson.
The 28-year-old has never been the most talented footballer, but the 6 ft central midfielder started and impressed hugely in Tuesday night’s quarter-final first-leg win over Porto at Anfield.
Henderson was far from the player the critics sometimes say he is as Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita goals gave Jurgen Klopp’s men a 2-0 victory and one foot into the semi-finals of the competitions for a second consecutive campaign.
The England star’s swashbuckling display caused supporters to drool and they showed that when replying to a tweet from their team’s official account featuring a picture of Henderson and the words, “The skipper.”
One commented “Jordan Tremenderson” as a comical play on his surname, another claimed that he should have won the man of the match instead of fellow midfielder Keita and one even gave the superb showing a rating of 10/10.
Below is a list of the best reactive Tweets from Reds fans to the stunning performance…

Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to slam Michael Oliver, after the referee sent off Ainsley Maitland-Niles in harsh fashion as the Gunners crashed to a 3-0 defeat against Leicester – they have now conceded three times in their last three matches against Crystal Palace, Wolves and the Foxes.
The Arsenal academy graduate received his first booking for a shoulder-to-shoulder clash with Ben Chilwell, which seemed very soft.

Maitland-Niles was then given his marching orders for a desperate lunge on James Maddison, which left the England Under-21 star rolling on the floor – replays show that the Arsenal full-back didn’t actually make much contact with the attacking midfielder.
His dismissal set the tempo for the rest of the game and saw Unai Emery’s men concede three second-half goals, leading to yet another loss which has put a huge dent in their top four hopes.
Let’s see what the Arsenal fans on Twitter are saying about Oliver’s refereeing…

Clearly, Tottenham need to find a replacement for Mousa Dembele and they might just have found that man in Andre Gomes. If he signs, they’ll be sure to step up their title challenge next season.
The Everton midfielder has been a shining light in a hit-and-miss season for the Toffees since arriving on loan from Barcelona. They’re now proving they’re very capable of beating the top six sides, and Gomes has certainly influenced their ability to go toe-to-toe with the big boys.
Spurs need a Dembele replacement and the likes of Eric Dier and Harry Winks just aren’t the same class as Gomes, who is just 25-years-old. He could fill the gap in midfield quality and stop Spurs from being so open to counter attacks.
He’s a well-rounded central midfielder that has all the qualities to break up play but then start the team’s attacks too. He’s got great vision and that’s exactly what Pochettino will be searching for as they look to turn defence into attack as quickly as possible.
The Portuguese will return to Spain in the summer, but Football Insider believe there are fears on Merseyside that Spurs will blow Everton out of the water and bring him to London rather than back to Merseyside. It’d be a step up that Gomes would surely welcome as he looks to establish himself as one of Europe’s best.
He’s now rated at £25.2m on Transfermarkt and that’d be a bargain if Daniel Levy can secure his signature. His 26 games for Everton should have been enough to convince him the ex-Valencia man is worth way more than that.
Spurs fans, who do you want to see come in as a Mousa Dembele replacement? Join the discussion by commenting below.
Arsenal are searching for bargains once again this summer, and Leicester ace Youri Tielemans would fit the bill perfectly, if they can fight off reported interest from Manchester United.
Indeed, the former Anderlecht ace was thought to have been a target for the Gunners over the course of the January transfer window, with El Gol Digital (via Sport Witness’ Naveen Ullal) claiming Unai Emery has requested the midfielder, though HLN recently reported of United’s interest.
The 21-year-old Monaco midfielder is on loan at The King Power Stadium, and – clearly – he’s has been a revelation since Brendan Rodgers took over. He’s notched two goals and three assists since the start of February and his long-range strike against Huddersfield certainly raised eyebrows.
Rodgers has made it clear in press conferences he wants to make the move permanent, but the Telegraph believe it would cost them a club record £40m. That may well be out of Leicester’s reach, but it could be a great long-term buy for Arsenal despite the initial cost.
He’s certainly not a bargain when you look at that figure, but he’s so young that he has the potential to play for the club for the next 10 years. In that case, he looks a bargain, so the Arsenal board need to get a move on.
It’ll be hard to find the cash unless the club let some players go, but they need to decide on who they’re selling quickly so they can start talks with potential summer signings like Tielemans. His high work rate is just what Unai Emery needs in his midfield for his style to work.
With Aaron Ramsey soon departing and Denis Suarez doing a whole lot of nothing since his arrival at the Emirates, moving for the man touted with a move back in January makes total sense.
Of course, Ramsey has impressed throughout his time at the Emirates but Tielemans offers that something special that fans have witnessed on too many occasions in North London.
It’s clear to see the direction this Arsenal team is moving in, and the Belgian would be a perfect fit and a bargain when you take into account the long-term investment. The Arsenal board need to work out a way to finance this move and claim his signature before their rivals do.
Arsenal fans, how much do you think Unai Emery will be able to spend this summer? Join the discussion by commenting below…
Tony Pulis has made some bizarre decisions during Boro’s current slump, and has often looked devoid of ideas of how to get back into a game from a losing position.
Strange then, to hear him singing the praises of one of the Teesside club’s rising stars, and lament how he has deserved more playing time and how he will become a Premier League player, yet continuously overlook him game after game.
The player in question, 20-year-old Marcus Tavernier, has all the attributes the side have been lacking in recent weeks.
Speaking to Teesside Live about the player, Pulis said: “If I’ve got a bit of a disappointment it’s that Tav hasn’t had as many games as he deserves.
“He’s going to be a top player. He’ll eventually play in the Premier League.”
He has a creative eye, pace in abundance, and the enthusiasm of youth. All these traits, along with the added incentive of wanting to impress the manager, makes it all the more amazing that the player has managed just a handful of minutes — mainly in cameo roles — since the turn of the year.
In fact, he scored for Boro’ in his last league appearance in which he was given time to influence a game, when he was brought off the bench with 29 minutes remaining against Ipswich in December.
His reward was to remain unused on the bench for the next two games before being left out of the squad completely.
He made no more appearances until February, but, even then, has only been on the pitch for a total of 33 minutes throughout 2019.
It is staggering, in the current woeful form, that Pulis has not given Tavernier a chance, and if he wants things to improve, then he must consider giving the youngster the opportunity he has been patiently waiting for.
If Pulis’ days in the Boro’ hot-seat are numbered, surely he should be at least wanting to try new things that might see Boro’ out of their slump.
The one thing that he would get from playing Tavernier, would be an energetic display, and the youngster would have the full support of the Boro’ fans behind him.
If nothing else, it would show that the manager is trying new ideas to rectify the situation.
As it is, he is often seen to be just plodding along, week after week, seemingly without the nous or ability to do anything different.
Would you give Tavernier a chance in your starting lineup at Bolton tonight, Boro’ fans? Let us know your opinion below…

Brighton and Hove Albion look to be in serious danger of relegation following their humiliating 5-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, even if they still lie five points above the drop zone.
The Seagulls only have two Premier League wins to their name in 2019 and have now lost four successive matches in all competitions.
The manner of the defeat was particularly disappointing, and the game against 18th-placed Cardiff City at the Amex Stadium on Tuesday night is now crucial to their hopes of staying in the division.
Manager Chris Hughton will inevitably be under some scrutiny following such a poor run of form, even if he did lead the club to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
But what are Brighton fans saying about his future on the popular North Stand Chat forum?
Understandably, a thread appeared soon after the final whistle on Saturday with a poll asking: Hughton In or Out?
After such a heavy defeat you would think that more fans would be leaning towards him going, but it appears to be relatively mixed with the slight majority erring on the side of caution at such a crucial stage of the season.
The supporter above certainly comes under that category, and clearly believes that the 60-year-old has earned the chance to be given time to turn things around.
Not everyone agrees with that sentiment though, with one less impressed fan saying the following…
It’s a difficult one to call and there is no doubt that even the minds of these fans could change again depending on the result against Neil Warnock’s men.
What is for sure is that the quality of football hasn’t been good enough in recent months, and playing one up top at home is far too negative – failing to score against Southampton or Bournemouth is proof of that.
Beating Cardiff will put Brighton on the verge of survival, but even if they stay up it might not be enough to ensure Hughton keeps his job in the summer if the board want to progress next term.
