That’s gotta hurt.
We’ll say one thing about Alan Pardew, he instills a bit of hunger in his teams.
Because Wilfried Zaha and Jason Puncheon didn’t care one bit about their own welfare as they both came charging in looking for a touch of the ball that would put them ahead against QPR, no matter what the consequences.
The consequences in this case were ugly.
And poor, old Puncheon didn’t even get the credit as Zaha got there first for the goal but both came clamouring off the woodwork as their momentum was stopped dead in a nasty collision whilst Rangers’ Yun Suk-Young got caught up in the crossfire, too.
Feeling left out, Nedum Onouha tries to join in late on but he takes the safe option by hitting the net instead of the post.
