Almiron scores 2, Newcastle beats 10-man Fulham 2-1
LONDON (AP) — Miguel Almiron struck twice as Newcastle cruised to a comfortable 4-1 victory at 10-man Fulham in the English Premier League. Newcastle went into the game with just one win in the league. But it stormed to victory after an eighth-minute red card for Nathaniel Chalobah following a reckless challenge on Sean Longstaff. Callum Wilson put Newcastle ahead and Almiron scored his first of the afternoon with a stunning volley from the edge of the penalty area. Longstaff added Newcastle’s third and Almiron capped a dominant Magpies performance by sweeping in a fourth in the 57th minute.
