Newcastle made home advantage count at St James' Park on Saturday, 19 September 2026, easing into a two-goal lead by the break against a Hull City side who simply couldn't get going. Whatever was said at half-time clearly worked for Hull, because they came out with far more purpose after the restart and pulled one back to make things uncomfortable for the hosts. Newcastle held on, though, closing it out 2-1 and giving their fans plenty to enjoy even if the final stretch had some nerves attached to it. The win keeps Newcastle's early-season form ticking along nicely, and they'll take real confidence from controlling a half completely before having to dig in. For Hull, there are positives to take from the second-half response, even in defeat. They showed character once they found their feet, but the damage from a flat opening 45 minutes proved too much to overturn. It's the kind of game that could easily have slipped away from Newcastle had Hull found that spark sooner.
