Newcastle United were denied a win at the London Stadium on Sunday by a last-gasp Mohammed Kudus equaliser.
Newcastle United’s trip to the capital concluded with a late goal from the hosts to deny them a fourth successive Premier League win. Mohammed Kudus’ late strike meant the Hammers and Magpies had to settle for a point apiece as they headed into the international break sat 7th and 8th respectively in the Premier League table.
Areola has received great praise for this gesture on social media. @FootballDaily posted the video, describing it as a ‘wholesome moment’, whilst @Football__Tweet wrote: ‘A beautiful moment from Alphonse Areola before the match.’
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire claims Newcastle United could earn up to as much as £80million if they reach the final of this season’s Champions League and as much as £9million for topping the group. Newcastle are currently leading the way at the top of Group F with a win over PSG and a draw with AC Milan at the San Siro.
The Magpies have repeatedly stressed the need to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations and this season in the Champions League will be a huge boost to their coffers.
