A brace for Bony piles the pressre on Pards

With Alan Pardew’s seven game touchline ban coinciding with a worrying decline in performance Newcastle fans have once again been voicing their unhappiness in the stands.

A win against the Welsh club at St James’ Park would have gone a long way to appeasing the home support and it was in fact Newcastle’s Shola Ameobi who put his team in front at the 23rd minute.

Play was shortly interrupted as a change of referee occurred after Chris Foy took a high speed ball to the head in what was both unfortunate and comical.

Swansea’s standout player Wilfred Bony, who now has 13 goals this season, scored on both sides of the break, one of which was a 90+2 minute penalty that cruelly snatched all three points for Swansea and gives Newcastle their fifth straight defeat.
