Newcastle United 2 – 1 West Bromwich A.
Joey Barton justified the faith of Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear by scoring the opening goal as the Magpies beat West Brom 2-0 for only their second Premier League win this season.
Barton, making his first start since being released from prison, struck from the penalty spot in the 10th minute before birthday boy Obafemi Martins added a second three minutes before half-time at St James’ Park on Tuesday.
West Brom substitute striker Ishmael Miller pulled a goal back in the 65th minute to fray the nerves of Newcastle’s fans but the home side hung on for a first league win since August.
Victory took Newcastle United out of the relegation zone and into 15th place, a point behind the Baggies.
“I know it’s an old cliche but nobody wants to be in the bottom three,” Kinnear told Sky Sports. “Nobody likes being in that position but if we can carry on now and get a second win then that would be great.
“If we can get a second victory back to back then it would be a completely different picture.”
Reflecting on a fraught display after half-time, Kinnear added: “We started the second-half too cautiously.
“We kept defending deeper and deeper because we were trying to protect what we had but we sat back instead of going for it and we caused ourselves some problems.”
His response was to kiss the badge on his Newcastle shirt, a move that many saw as inflammatory and a contributory factor to the violence which broke out after the final whistle between rival fans at the Stadium of Light.
By that stage, Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given had preserved the home side’s lead with a fine save when one-on-one with James Morrison.
