Magpies end three-game Premier League losing streak with 1-0 win at St James' Park

  • Arabic

A seccond-half penalty from Callum Wilson earned Newcastle United a 1-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday, ending a three-game Premier League losing streak.

The England striker, who this week signed a one-year contract extension at the club, scored his third goal of the season in what was his first start to earn the Magpies a second victory.

It was a much-needed three points after successive defeats against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Brighton, coming just three days before they take on AC Milan at the San Siro in their Champions League group-stage opener.

Wilson finished confidently from the spot after 64 minutes not long after he had been harshly denied a goal for a supposed foul on Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken.

The penalty was awarded after Flekken's needless challenge on Anthony Gordon and Wilson made no mistake, much to the relief of what had been a slightly nervy St James' Park crowd.

“Pressure is for tyres,” said the 31-year-old. “For me, practice in training and on a match day you've done it so many times and it's just repetition, stay composed and that's what I did.

“It [the win] was massive. The break probably came at a good time for us, we were on a run of defeats and needed back to winning ways. The break got us to regroup, we worked on a few things we had to improve. We had to win ugly and three points were the most important today.”

On his disallowed goal, Wilson added: “Obviously I jumped up with the goalkeeper, challenging as you do. I think they get a little bit too much protection from the goalkeepers. At corners, they're pushing you but if you touch them back it's a foul.”

As for Brentford, it was a vast improvement on last year's 5-1 battering at the same ground and the away side came away unhappy with the penalty call.

“We could have taken something away from here so it's a tough one to take,” said Christian Noorgard.

“We had big chances in the second half where we could have gone in front, before they got their soft penalty.

“I heard the referee say 'not for me, not for me' so maybe the assistant gave it. I just think in a game like this it is not the right decision.

“It's frustrating of course, you come here as the underdogs and this small decision turns it. It's a tough one to take.”

For all their impressive defensive organisation, Brentford were less dangerous going forward and rarely troubled Nick Pope in the Newcastle goal. Their best chance to score came in the opening few minutes, when Aaron Hickey's shot was blocked by Pope.

“There was a lot of relief in our emotions at the end,” said Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, whose team face Serie A giants Milan on Tuesday night.

“It wasn't a fantastic performance from us but it was a determined one, a gritty one. It was one that wanted to show our response from the Brighton performance.

“I think we've seen that, a clean sheet, a massive three points, and now we can move forward.”

Did you know?

Brunch has been around, is some form or another, for more than a century. The word was first mentioned in print in an 1895 edition of Hunter’s Weekly, after making the rounds among university students in Britain. The article, entitled Brunch: A Plea, argued the case for a later, more sociable weekend meal. “By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well,” the piece read. “It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.” More than 100 years later, author Guy Beringer’s words still ring true, especially in the UAE, where brunches are often used to mark special, sociable occasions.

How the UAE gratuity payment is calculated now

Employees leaving an organisation are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of service.

The tenure is calculated on the number of days worked and does not include lengthy leave periods, such as a sabbatical. If you have worked for a company between one and five years, you are paid 21 days of pay based on your final basic salary. After five years, however, you are entitled to 30 days of pay. The total lump sum you receive is based on the duration of your employment.

1. For those who have worked between one and five years, on a basic salary of Dh10,000 (calculation based on 30 days):

a. Dh10,000 ÷ 30 = Dh333.33. Your daily wage is Dh333.33

b. Dh333.33 x 21 = Dh7,000. So 21 days salary equates to Dh7,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service. Multiply this figure for every year of service up to five years.

2. For those who have worked more than five years

c. 333.33 x 30 = Dh10,000. So 30 days’ salary is Dh10,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service.

Note: The maximum figure cannot exceed two years total salary figure.

The specs: 2019 BMW X4

Price, base / as tested: Dh276,675 / Dh346,800

Engine: 3.0-litre turbocharged in-line six-cylinder

Transmission: Eight-speed automatic

Power: 354hp @ 5,500rpm

Torque: 500Nm @ 1,550rpm

Fuel economy, combined: 9.0L / 100km

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
