Newcastle United’s win over Fulham was started by a special moment from Lewis Miley as he netted his first goal for the club. Miley latched onto a free ball in the box to slam home past Bernd Leno to give the Magpies a deserved lead just before the hour mark.
Ah man what a feeling for Lewis Miley 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #NEWFUL 🖤🤍

Miley’s strike was just rewards for the hosts who had piled on the pressure after Fulham were reduced to ten men early in the first-half after Raul Jimenez was shown a red card four a foul on Sean Longstaff. Miley, who himself replaced Joelinton after the Brazilian was forced off through injury, became Newcastle United’s youngest ever Premier League scorer and Alan Shearer, a man who knows a thing or two about scoring at St James’ Park, took to social media to describe what that goal will mean for the teenager.
