• Fulham recorded their first Premiership victory at St James' Park last season, winning 1-4. Midfielder Steed Malbranque scored twice, as the Cottagers handed Souness his first home defeat after two months in charge.

In fact Shola Ameobi was the last Newcastle player to score - the last of a trio against Fulham in a 1-3 victory at Craven Cottage on 4 May, since when the Magpies have made six top flight outings. Laurent Robert was the most recent player in a back and white shirt to score a League goal at St James' Park. The Frenchman netted the only score against Liverpool on 5 March.
