The “magpies” could not qualify for the European Cup in the previous season, so now it is enough for them to focus on the domestic series. They started the league at home against newcomers Southampton, and it was predicted that it would be as smooth as their first game against Aston Villa in the previous edition, which ended 5–1. Fabian Schär however, he made sure that Newcastle did not have a calm match, as he was exposed in the 28th minute. The Swiss defender tangled with Ben Brereton, but perhaps the red card was too harsh a sentence. The “saints” player, on the other hand, got away with a yellow card.
Despite the man disadvantage, the home team took the (eventually winning) lead, the ball was quickly passed by the visitors’ goalkeeper Joelinton came before him who did not make a mistake (1–0).
