Why one Newcastle United player IS smiling this week

Steve Bruce’s squad have been coming to terms with Sunday’s 5-0 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

However, Freddie Woodman, on loan at Swansea City, has had a better week.

Woodman’s side beat Charlton Athletic 2-1 at The Valley to go one point clear at the top of the Championship.

The 22-year-old is one of the few United loan players to be getting starts away from St James’s Park this season.
