ON THIS DAY 2019:
Despite huge doubts hanging over whether Manager Rafa Benitez, along with quite a few of the players, would be staying beyond the end of the season. The travelling Mags wanted to party in the Weat London sunshine.
A flotilla of specially-chartered river boats transported 1’500 Geordie away fans to Craven Cottage, and they were treated to a glorious win to finish the season.
An already relegated Fulham proved the perfect fodder, as Shelvey volleyed in a glorious effort in the first ten minutes to open the scoring.
Two minutes later, Perez pounced on a poorly parried shot by Atsu to add a second.
Schär added a third with an unmarked header from a corner, before player of the season Rondón slotted in a fourth right at the end to keep the away end partying.
Boats are some sight.
Id also forgot how good that first goal was!
