Newcastle United continue to lead the SkyBet Championship after recording an excellent 3-0 victory over Ipswich Town at St James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Magpies were ahead after less than 60 seconds courtesy of Ayoze Perez’s volley while a further strike from the Spaniard in the second half combined with Matt Ritchie’s effort put the gloss on a well earned three points.
Rafa Benitez’s side have a three point advantage at the SkyBet Championship summit while The Magpies boast a much superior goal difference over their promotion rivals. After seeing their side cruise to victory, Newcastle United fans took to Twitter to give their views on the match.
Rhythm is a dancer
Ritchie is the answer
He can score from anywhere… #NUFC— Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) October 22, 2016
Newcastle are smashing it! I rate Rafa Benitez so highly man. No World class manager would stick with a relegated team like that #NUFC

Fantastic performance from #NUFC. Clinical going forward & Clark/Lascelles rock solid at the back. Ritchie, Shelvey & Perez all superb.
