Norwich City 4 Newcastle United 2: Magpies continue slide

Paul Lambert's 4-4-2 formation, with Grant Holt and Steve Morison both starting upfront, showed his full intent to take all three points from Newcastle United.


Both men repaid their manager's trust, scoring in their 4-2 victory over the Magpies. For Newcastle, their predicted decline from the top four spot continued, sliding to seventh place at the end of the day. However, they did not go down without a fight, tying the game before the break and attempting a comeback with ten men late. 

On a positive side for Newcastle, Demba Ba continued his hot streak scoring his 10th and 11th league goal of the season. He's tied for second with Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero at 11 goals. Arsenal's Robin Van Persie leads the pack with 15 league goals.
