It’s fair to say Hull City hosting Newcastle United isn’t exactly one for the purists.
The Magpies are leading 2-0 thanks to two impressive strikes Remy Cabella and Sami Ameobi respectively, but it’s been all about Steve McManaman’s hat, a thrown pie and Ahmed Elmohamady’s ‘hand of God’ effort.
Cabella opened the scoring for Newcastle in the first-half.

Hull had thought they’d leveled the score just before half-time though. Elmohamady cheekily flicked the ball into Newcastle’s net and ran off celebrating, thinking he’d got away with it. However, the referee had noticed the infringement, disallowed the goal and booked the midfielder.
As the game is being televised by BT, Thierry Henry was not on-hand (sorry) to analyse Elmohamady’s effort.

And one fan is currently pie-less after offering to share his pastry with the Newcastle players.
