The £69million striker took on the mantle of the departed Alexander Isak to ensure he was the match-winner in his first run-out in a black and white shirt, to the delight of a crowd of 52,145 at St James' Park.

Howe said: "It was a great moment for Nick. I was very pleased with how he played today.

"You saw his qualities, his technical qualities that we've been discussing and his intelligence. But most importantly for a striker, when the ball comes into the box, you need to be there. And he was.
