Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United side were beaten 1-0 by Augsburg.
Ki Sung-Yeung has won praise from Newcastle United fans, after his latest performance.
Ki was brought off the bench during Newcastle’s friendly with Augsburg yesterday, and he took his chance to impress.
Although the Magpies were beaten in the contest, Ki’s partnership with Jonjo Shelvey looked good.
And Newcastle fans have praised the South Korean, who arrived on a free transfer from Swansea City earlier this summer.
Ki appears to be fighting for a place in Newcastle’s starting line-up with Mohamed Diame.
The new signing has enjoyed a productive pre-season, where his appearances have often caught the eye.
Ki looks to have the ability to dictate the tempo of matches with Shelvey, and the pair are both exceptional in possession.
Newcastle begin their season next weekend, when they take on Tottenham Hotspur, after what has been a poor set of results in pre-season.
