Newcastle United were excellent in their win over Chelsea<\/span> at the weekend, with Issac Hayden scoring the only goal of the game to send St. James’ Park wild.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steve Bruce’s side had to be defensively solid to frustrate the Blues<\/span>‘ attack, while also contesting with injury problems,\u00a0before sealing victory late on.<\/p>\n

The win moves them further away from the relegation zone with a total of seven points now separating Newcastle and the bottom three, which may well go some way into earning Bruce more respect in the North East after initial criticism of his arrival.<\/p>\n

However, can Newcastle’s fans match the impressive performance their team put in against Chelsea<\/span>? It’s not been easy to be a Newcastle fan of late, so how closely have supporters been paying attention to their team?<\/p>\n

To find out which\u00a0Premier League<\/span> club has the most knowledgeable fans, we have been putting match-going supporters to the test, quizzing them on trivia about their club’s current crop of players.<\/p>\n

This weekend it was time for the Magpies faithful to take on the challenge and find out how much they really know about Newcastle United’s season \u2013 and beyond.<\/p>\n

We posed 30 questions to 30 different fans, with each answering just one, before tallying up their correct answers for a total score.<\/p>\n

Who has provided the most assists since the club returned to the Premier League? Which player has won the most tackles in the top flight this season? How many goals did Alan Shearer score for the Toon Army?<\/p>\n

Was it to be sorrow or joy for the Magpies?<\/p>\n
