5 Heroes & Villains From NUFC 1-1 West Brom

The Villains...

5. Victor Anichebe

This is purely from an NUFC point of view - because for West Brom supporters Victor Anichebe was most definitely a hero on Saturday. However, for the Toon faithful Anichebe is merely a thorn in their side - because they seem to be the only Premier League side who the big forward regularly scores against. The former Everton forward has netted five career goals against the Magpies now and he easily brushed off the aerial challenge of Ryan Taylor to nod West Brom in front at St James' Park. If Ayoze Perez hadn't popped up with a goal then Anichebe could have left Newcastle in an even-more perilous position than they already find themselves in.
