12. Newcastle Are Actually Allowed To Win Penalties
I'm sure I wasn't the only one beginning to think there had been some sort of mean spirited stipulation placed on The Magpies' heads, stating under no circumstances could they win a spot kick... Newcastle were forced to wait 382 days to be awarded a PK n a competitive fixture, after ironically last being handed one during a 3-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Boxing Day 2014. However, with the way Aleksandar Mitrovic stroked it home with consummate ease, you would have been forgiven for thinking that Newcastle were awarded one every week. Miracles really do happen...
