Considering that Newcastle United are one of the promoted teams from last season in the Premier League, they are having a positive season.

As it stands, Rafael Benitez and his men reside in the top half of the table in ninth, but fans will be waking up this morning feeling bittersweet after Sunday's result.

The Magpies threw away their lead twice against Southampton at St Mary's before eventually recording a 2-2 draw.

Isaac Hayden put the visitors ahead in the 20th minute, but Manolo Gabbiadini found an equaliser shortly after the half-time break.

Newcastle responded with a goal from Ayoze Perez, but Florian Lejeune's foul on Shane Long in the box cost the North-East outfit all three points as Gabbiadini converted from the penalty spot.

After the match, club captain Jamaal Lascelles, who recently signed a new long-term contract, gave his reaction to the result.

It was clear that the defender was going through a mix of emotions.
