Santiago Munoz watch: A standing ovation, Gallowgate goal and running battle with defenders

Newcastle United's Mexican Under-23 international Santiago Munoz had waited a long time to experience his big moment in a black and white shirt. Five long months had passed since he was announced as an 18-month loan signing from Santos Laguna.

But after overcoming a hamstring injury and building up to his St James' Park debut he arrived in style with a goal on his full bow in front of the Gallowgate End. True, it may have been a deserted Gallowgate End and in front of just 793 hearty souls, but it meant the world to the 19-year-old.

Here's how the teenager's night unfolded in the dramatic 4-3 win over West Brom.

West Brom's uncompromising teenage centre-back Caleb Taylor, son of bruising former Birmingham defender Martin, tries to lay down the law but Munoz cleverly wins a free-kick and sends the message that he will be no pushover.

Munoz intelligently gets past Taylor and heads for the penalty area but is halted by a clothesline move by the 6ft 3in centre-back to stop him in his tracks.

The running battle with the West Brom defensive rearguard continues as he peels off to the right and makes a good run but Tom Fellows just gets back with him and nicks possession back for the visitors.

Munoz makes a really clever run to the edge of the box evading West Brom defenders. He shows up in exactly the right place but does not receive a pass from a team-mate and the ball eventually goes out for a corner.
