A lot of Newcastle United fans adore a video that shows a different angle of their first goal against Manchester City.
All of the plaudits went to Jonjo Shelvey for his stunning strike, but a new angle from the media team at Newcastle shows just how good the first goal actually was.
Jetro Willems started and finished the move, and his skill to go past John Stones was sublime.
Allan Saint-Maximin pings the ball into the Dutchman who flicks it up and around the £47.5m defender before passing to Miguel Almiron, who gives Willems the ball back and the 25-year-old strikes a neat finish into the bottom corner.
Should Newcastle sign Willems?
Yes, what a bargain
No, they can do better
This new footage has delighted many Toon fans.
This is sensational. ? #NUFC pic.twitter.com/hmUIRspcNH

That’s the first time I’ve seen that where I’ve been able to fully comprehend exactly what Willems did before the pass to Almiron. Sublime.

@EoinMurp23 I watched this about 50times before I seen this angle to figure out what he actually did. Unreal

Outrageous

Others are laughing at John Stones.
I know Stones gets stick, a lot of it undeserved. He didn’t ask to be sold for that amount. But Jetro makes him look like a sunday league clogger there! I thought it was a really good match, and we still couldn’t get first spot on MOTD ?

What do we think?
Everyone thought that Shelvey’s goal was Newcastle’s best, but this new angle would suggest otherwise – as it is a supreme piece of skill from Willems to create the chance.
Almiron does well to pick out the Dutchman, and the finish gave Ederson no chance.
Willems has proven to be a brilliant signing for Newcastle and has made the most direct goal contributions out of anyone else in the team with two goals and three assists.
The Toon have the option to activate his release clause of £10m, and they would be mad not to.
However, nothing is simple with Mike Ashley in charge – so it will be interesting to see if the Magpies do sign him or they let him slip away.
