Captain Jamaal Lascelles scored his second goal in as many games as Newcastle beat Stoke City 2-1 to record their third successive Premier League win and climb inside the top four.
Christian Atsu put the hosts in front from a wonderful Matt Ritchie ball in the first half, before Xherdan Shaqiri curled in an equaliser from long range.
But Lascelles, who headed wide from a similar opportunity before the break, met another Ritchie delivery to win it.
Magpies forward Joselu had several chances to put the game beyond his former side, but found Potters goalkeeper Jack Butland in good form, BBC Sports reports.
It was Stoke’s first loss in the league since an opening-day defeat by Everton.
