Newcastle United returned to the top of the Championship today after eventually thumping bottom of the table Rotherham in what turned out to be a wonderful day at St. James’ Park. 

The Magpies were made to wait for much of the opening half as the Millers provided them with a few scares, particularly when Karl Darlow went from zero to hero in a matter of seconds in a strange mix-up that almost allowed Paul Warne’s side to take the lead.

Still, the mood turned on Tyneside pretty much as soon as Daryl Murphy notched a crucial opener before the interval and, with the deadlock finally broken, Matt Ritchie and Ayoze Perez bagged to send the Magpies on their way to an easy three points.

Ritchie then added a fourth as the Millers rolled over somewhat, with the Scotland international having seemingly played with way through a recent bad run of form at perhaps the most crucial time of the season.

With Brighton and Hove Albion having won last night, the pressure was on the Toon today, though their 4-0 thumping of Rotherham quite clearly went down a storm on Twitter. With that in mind, here’s a look at how you reacted.
