'Go and win the game' - Oscar Bobb repaid Man City faith at Newcastle and got a reward from his teammates

The away fans high up in the Leazes Stand at St James' Park weren't the only ones singing Oscar Bobb's name after his injury-time winner at Newcastle. When the 20-year-old returned to the away dressing room after an on-pitch interview, his teammates were singing it too.
