MATCH FACTS

■■Newcastle picked up their first away league win of the season in their 10th such outing (D3 L6); it’s the longest they’ve waited for their first away win from the start of a league season since 2012-13, when their first victory came in their 12th away game. ■■This was Leeds United’s first Premier League defeat to a side starting the day in the relegation zone since December 2003, a 1-3 defeat to Wolves, and first at home since November 2002 when they lost 2-4 to

Bolton.

■■Newcastle have won eight of their last 12 league visits to Elland Road (D1 L3). Indeed, no side in Premier League history have won more away games at Elland Road than the Magpies (seven, level with Liverpool).

Leeds have lost two of their last three Premier League games at Elland Road (W1), as many as their previous 14 home league matches before this (W5 D7 L2).

■■Leeds have conceded 40 goals in 21 Premier League games this season, the earliest they have shipped 40+ league goals from the start of a league campaign since

2006-07 in the Championship (also 21 games).

■■Newcastle’s Jonjo Shelvey has scored 61 per cent of his Premier League goals from outside the penalty area (14/23); of players with 20+ goals in the competition, only

David Ginola (below, 67 per cent) and Laurent Robert (65 per cent) have a higher ratio.
