Ayoze Perez reacts as goals take Newcastle United out of relegation zone

Perez scored a hat-trick as the clu beat Southampton 9-0 last night.

The result saw Newcastle United, his former club, move out of the Premier League’s relegation zone.

“I’ve been thinking a while about getting my first goal,” said Perez, sold to Leicester for £30million in July.

“I knew as soon as the first one came, goals will keep coming. It means a lot for me, I’m very happy, very proud of myself.”
