Graeme Souness

Gary Neville's Soccerbox comes next on Sky Sports Premier League Channel.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Watford, the only teams with maximum points going to the break.

How good does that sound for the Hornets?

Bye from us.

Looking for a winner, Alonso who started this off as going into a good area, goes down and gets the penalty.

No mistake from the spot.

Giroud threw himself in the way, was held up there by Yedlin who gets his cross in.

All the way across to Olivier Giroud.

Put back for Alonso!

So, Graeme Souness, how would you sum that up today?

Newcastle nearly got away with it.

You know, when you play that way and you're defending so deep and there's so much happening in and around your box, things will be unkind to you on occasion if you think the two goals today, scrappy affairs...

I think push comes to shove it was a penalty.

My first thought it wasn't a penalty.

And then an OG towards the end.

But it wasn't a great watch from Newcastle.

It must be a hard sell to your players to say this is how we're going to play because every player at every level thinks he can play.

And I think when you saw Newcastle on the front foot, they did threaten.

So I think they nearly got away with it, but it was a hard watch.

See, he gets the ball first and that all seemed... I got the ball first, referee.
