Stunning debut

Dubravka is a good goalkeeper, and his performance in the 1-0 win against United underlines just how important he will be for Newcastle between now and the end of the season.

The Magpies need the Slovakia international to be at his best in the upcoming matches, as they aim to put distance between themselves and the Premier League bottom three.

According to The Chronicle, Newcastle paid Prague around £1.7 million as loan fee and will have to pay around £3.5m at the end of the season to sign the goalkeeper on a permanent contract.
