Rio Ferdinand and Southampton goalkeeper send Instagram messages to Newcastle star
Newcastle star Jacob Murphy was instrumental in Steve Bruce’s side earning all three points against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday as the Toon earned a 2-1 win – and both Rio Ferdinand and a Southampton player have reacted on Instagram.
Newcastle notched a second successive win in the Premier League and climbed to the lofty heights of 12th place as substitutes Murphy and Dwight Gayle combined to earn a win. Newcastle had taked the lead through Miguel Almiron in the first minute.
The scoreline remained the same until the hour mark, as Darnell Furlong expertly volleyed home a cross from the left wing. With the game entering the final 10 minutes, the game was in danger of ending in a 1-1 draw.
Murphy, though, changed that. Coming on in the 80th minute, the winger picked the ball up on the right flank and curled in a delicious ball for Gayle to head home – beating Sam Johnstone at his near post. Murphy posted on Instagram.
It was a meaningful not goal, not least as Newcastle continued a winning run but more so because it was two ex-West Brom players to down Slaven Bilic’s side. Both Gayle and Murphy have spent season-long loans at the Baggies, from Newcastle.
Ferdinand, who is an ambassador for New Era Sports Global – the agency that acts as Murphy’s representatives – and Southampton’s £13.5million () goalkeeper Angus Gunn responded, with the latter comparing Murphy to David Beckham.
