Goal-scorer Niko Kranjčar in action today. The home side was outplayed for the entire match. It was Pompey's fourth straight league away win, their first victory at Newcastle since 1949 and their biggest win there since 1930. It was also the Magpies' heaviest Premiership home defeat for three years.
