Not such a Happy Christmas for Harchester United as yet again over this festive period, a mistake at the back has proved costly as Newcastle United picked up a rare victory over the Dragons this afternoon.

There was also a rare goal for Michael Owen from the penalty spot to give the home side all three points - a perfect late Christmas present for Sam Allardyce and his team.

Harchester United started the game brightly and enjoyed most of the possession and attacking opportunities throughout the game, but Jimmy Craig will be livid once again that they failed to take advantage.

In the 75th minute, Newcastle had an attacking opportunity which saw Geremi brought down in the box by keeper Alex O'Mare. He then failed to save from Michael Owen as the Magpies went on to win all 3 points.
