A selection of Newcastle United fans heaped praise on Jamaal Lascelles following his stoppage-time equaliser against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Friday.

The Magpies looked on course to register a goalless draw last night before the game came alive in the last five minutes when the Villans broke the deadlock.

Ollie Watkins’ header was unfortunately deflected into the back of the net off the post by Ciaran Clark, who had a solid game until then.

Martin Dubravka subsequently came up with a couple of crucial saves for the Magpies before Lascelles salvaged a point.

The defender netted the equaliser with a powerful header from a Jacob Murphy cross with seconds left on the clock.

This pleased several of the club’s faithful, and here are a few reactions on Twitter.

Lascelles! My captain. #nufc
