Newcastle eased the pressure on manager Alan Pardew after Gabriel Obertan 's goal
earned the struggling Magpies their first Premier League win of the season against
Leicester City on Saturday.
The Frenchman hit home in the 71st minute to give Newcastle victory at the eighth
time of asking and cap an unconventional day at St James' Park.
Kick-off on Tyneside was delayed by an hour due to issues
with the newly installed big screen at St James' Park, with
engineers scaling the stadium walls to fix the issue and
ensure the game went ahead.
Once the game did get under way Newcastle enjoyed the
better of the proceedings, though a lack of composure in
front of goal looked likely to cost them - with their
profligacy typified by Papiss Cisse missing an open goal.
