HERR FLICK

Woltemade proves worth with magic moment but big Nick's in a twist as flaky Toon look much less reliable

- 

BY LEE RYDER NICK WOLTEMADE is making a mockery of his £69m transfer fee with Newcastle.

German legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge labelled the Toon “idiots” for stumping up that much for the 23-year-old.

But the 6ft 6in striker is proving he could well be a snip, with five goals in his last five matches for the Magpies and Germany.

His latest strike was simply glorious, an audacious back-heel flick that levelled the scores.

But sadly it meant little, as it did not deliver either a victory or a solitary point for Newcastle.

Reflecting on the loss at Brighton, Woltemade said: “It was hard to take. We had situations where we could have scored more but didn't.

“I thought the way we started well in the second half and believed we could have won the game... when you work so hard for a goal and when it is a great team goal, then we have the emotion to win the game.

“Even at 2-1 we thought we could get something.”
