READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
You can see where Moreno is coming from, in a sense. Tottenham and Manchester United missed big chances and Newcastle scored from very little to win the games, so you could chalk it down to luck.
Newcastle were also very fortunate to draw with Watford, as their equalising goal should have been ruled out by VAR for handball. However, Newcastle have put in some hard-working performances and deserve their current points tally, as it stands.
Whether they will continue to be able to pick up points remains to be seen, with plenty of the season left to play.
