Finally...
Finally our winless drought had come to an end, with the help of a very very poor Fulham side which happened to beat Everton 2 nil on the weekend. The win puts us up to 12th spot with a chance to get the tenth place. But it will take some sort of a miracle to get that now.
After witnessing our inept ability to score in the past two games, we finally got it right with Ambrose's goal. The lively Charles N'Zogbia sped his way past his marker to dig out a high cross which James Milner nodded down for Ambrose, with the ball taking a deflection on it's way. The midfielder swung his right-foot at the ball and drove home from 8-yards out. From then onwards, we control the game despite some misplaced passes courtesy of Amdy Faye, most of the time. But not to say that the others didn't either. Fulham did have one or two more chances but not really clear cut chances. The 2nd half began with us controlling and getting the all important 2nd goal. Kluivert heading home an N'Zogbia corner on the hour mark, capping of a steady performance. Just hope he gets to start against Everton and prove himself against. Its a last chance saloon for him now.
With 15 minutes left Ameobi made it 3-0 with a rare headed goal, his first in the League since January, this time Milner providing the cross. After some poor displays from previous games, Ameobi did quite well in this game and deservedly got a goal. Got stucked in at the left wing and played quite well, compared to previous games that is. But still, his poor control and dribbling skills needs to improve. Souness has spoken out about his disappointment with Shola. Perhaps, Bellamy could teach him a thing or two.
3 goals up and all over. We just needed to keep ball and play around but as the newcastle that we are, keeping 3 straight clean sheets is just too much to ask. With just under 5 minutes to go, Milner lost out in midfield to Liam Rosenior who threaded a perfectly weighted ball through to former Toon target Tomasz Radzinski with the Canadian running onto it and side footing home past Shay Given. Bramble just failing to cut it out before the striker could get onto it. This created a frentic finale with Given needed to make a superb save from Brian McBride at the end. In the end, we picked up a deserved 3 points and it was about god damn time we did.
