Match report: In what was predicted to be a tight game with Bristol City expected to come out on top, Newcastle took an easy win at Ashton Gate. Things started brightly as in-form Ryan Taylor smashed a shot into the top corner from 15 yards. Then, just 4 minutes later, Shola Ameobi's powerful header took a wicked deflection off Jamie Mccombe and found it's way into the back of the net. A good move by Newcastle. Newcastle held on and recorded a fantastic 2-0 win over a lacklustre Bristol City.
