Newcastle United fans sent a clear message of solidarity with their club as they hosted Liverpool on Monday evening in a Premier League clash that had added tension due to negotiations between the teams over Magpies striker Alexander Isak.
The Newcastle fans provided a hostile and lively atmosphere in the opening minutes of the match at St.
James’ Park after revealing a banner showing their support over the Isak drama.
We are Newcastle United.”
The comments come in light of Liverpool’s ongoing pursuit of Isak as well as their poaching of Hugo Ekitike who was a target for the North East side.
