One decorated debutant did his job, but his compatriot at the other end of the park failed to do his. Alvaro Negredo and Victor Valdes were team-mates in the victorious Spain squad at Euro 2012 and they were re-united at the Riverside this summer. But while Negredo scored the opening goal on his return to the Premier League, goalkeeper Valdes was to blame as Xherdan Shaqiri equalised midway through the second half.

Striker Nahki Wells curled David Wagner's team in front on the stroke of half-time when he was afforded too much freedom in the Newcastle box.
