Steve Bruce thrilled after Newcastle net 7️⃣ v Morecambe | OneFootball

Newcastle came out to play on Wednesday evening as they thrashed Morecambe 7-0.

Joelinton’s brace along with goals from Miguel Almiron, Jacob Murphy, and Isaac Hayden ensured Newcastle scored five goals in a half for the first time since 1993.

A Jamaal Lascelles header and an own goal from Sam Lavelle put an end to proceedings.

Coming on the heels of their 3-0 defeat against Brighton, manager Steve Bruce was thrilled with their response against the League Two outfit.

“When you have a disappointing result, the one thing you have to do is respond and that’s what pleased more than anything,” the Newcastle boss said.

“The response, the attitude towards it on an awful night, nobody here. It’s got that look that if you don’t do it properly then you can have one of them awful evenings and we’ve all experienced them before, especially a club like ours.

“It was nice to get the job done and the way that they went about it. Some of the football, particularly the first half an hour, was terrific.”

Newcastle will now gear up for their Premier League clash away at Tottenham, which will take place this coming Sunday.
