Route-one football.
After beginning its Championship season with back-to-back losses, Newcastle United has been inspired to victories by Dwight Gayle.
Wearing the No. 9 shirt made famous by the likes of Jackie Milburn and Alan Shearer, the former Crystal Palace forward received a long-ball from fellow new boy Mohamed Diame, before finishing beyond Bristol City's Richard O'Donnell with aplomb. It marks Gayle's fourth strike in four outings.
Newcastle sits just short of the play-off spots, with six points after four matches. The gegenpressing Huddersfield Town occupies top spot with 10 points.
