Newcastle United made it two wins on the spin on Saturday, showing their ruthless side to emphatically defeat rock-bottom Rotherham United at St James’ Park.

Rafael Benitez’s table-toppers are in pole position to return to the Premier League at the first attempt, after putting four past the Millers.

The Magpies had lost four of their last 10 games in the second-tier, winning the other six, so Benitez will be hoping the Tyneside outfit can show more consistent form in order to see them back into the top-flight.
