Newcastle evening headlines with Trippier's penalty trick and Wilson's reaction to Isak winner

Here are your latest Newcastle United headlines for March 19.

Trippier's trick

Kieran Trippier has spoken about his stoppage time mind games at the City Ground after helping Newcastle United net three vital points on Friday night.

The Newcastle full-back conned Forest shotstopper Keylor Navas - a former Real Madrid goalkeeper no less - into believing he was stepping up for the vital moment at the end of the game. With Navas going through his own routine of trying to put Trippier off, he was then stunned as Alexander Isak promptly stepped up before firing home the winner.

Wilson's Isak reaction

Eddie Howe has predicted that Alexander Isak's performance against Nottingham Forest will only make Callum Wilson more determined to 'fight' for his place at Newcastle United.

Isak scored both goals in Newcastle's 2-1 win at the City Ground as the club's record signing was named man of the match for the second successive game. It was Isak who popped up with a superb improvised volley before the break, to cancel out Emmanuel Dennis' opener, and the striker followed up that equaliser with a flawless penalty at the death to send his side home with all three points.

Among those who were on their feet celebrating that winner was unused substitute Wilson, who said earlier this week that 'success for the club brings success for every individual within the team'. Rather than sulking about losing his place, at a time when he has been unable to train regularly due to illness and muscle tightness, Wilson has always been one of the first to congratulate Isak after scoring.

Talk of Newcastle United co-owners looking closely into the idea of multi-club model rumbles on following Amanda Staveley's comments at the recent Financial Times' Business of Football Summit.

The Ripon financier stated that Newcastle were "looking in" to the idea of emulating Manchester City and having partnerships with clubs around the globe. Man City's long list of partners includes New York City, Melbourne City, Yokohama F. Marinos, Montevideo City Torque, Girona FC, Sichuan Jiuniu and Mumbai City FC.

A report in Bloomberg this week stated that Newcastle's co-owners had held discussions with 777 Partners. The Miami-based investment platform have Genoa of Serie A and La Liga's Seville already within their portfolio as "brands" as well as Melbourne Victory and Standard Liège in Belgium.

However, Newcastle have not commented on the talks yet and discussions about a multi-club from a United point of view are still at a very early stage.

Howe's reaction

Eddie Howe has spoken of the importance of back to back wins in the Premier League following the triumph at the City Ground.

The victory became even better when Tottenham Hotspur dropped two massive points away to Southampton with Antonio Conte's subsequent meltdown in his post-game Press conference after the 3-3 draw suggesting all is not well with Newcastle's Champions League rivals. United are now two points behind Spurs with two games in hand on the London outfit.
