10 Things We Learned From Newcastle Vs Southampton

10. Newcastle Have Finally Found Someone Who Can Take A Set-Piece

Yohan Cabaye's void has finally been filled. In the first-half especially, Georginio Wijnaldum's in-swinging free kicks caused mayhem in the Southampton defence. Balls were being sliced out for corners while one almost ended up in the back of the net as Fabricio Coloccini had an effort cleared off the line. It was really encouraging to see after the last two years of absolutely no threat from set-pieces. Wijnaldum has even inspired Jack Colback to deliver fine set-pieces, as a couple of the Geordie's balls into the box met their target and almost led to a goal. Certainly an area of the game United are obviously building on under Steve McClaren.
