Newcastle made it nine league wins on the bounce, as well as 10 overall, as they disposed of an in-form Leeds United side on a bitterly cold day at Elland Road.
The Magpies rode their luck at times, particularly towards the end of the first half, though a Dwight Gayle brace (no pun intended) was enough to send the traveling Toon Army back to Tyneside with smiles on their faces.
There’s still oh so much to play for in the Championship campaign, Rafa Benitez is building up a head of steam right now and they’re nine points clear in the automatic promotion places.
While the title is clearly the aim, putting breathing space behind even the chasing pack in third is perhaps the most crucial thing at this point in the campaign.
2-0 was probably a fair result on the day in Yorkshire, with Gayle proving his class as the most lethal finisher in the division for many years now.
With that in mind, here are TEN photos that summed up Newcastle vs Leeds.
