Dan Burn's goal against Everton this month was only his second in the Premier League Newcastle had targeted Burn, a boyhood Magpies fan, to bolster their defence.
But not for the first time 33-year-old Lewandowski delivered a key intervention and he now has 39 goals in 32 matches in all competitions this season - form that is proving pivotal as his side chase a 10th-straight Bundesliga title.
He’ll always have the 2020-21 Coupe de France, his only trophy as a manager to date, and though they are cantering towards the Ligue 1 title – currently 11 points clear of Nice – it could be au revoir in March if PSG fail to make it past Real Madrid in the Champions League.

It was a complete rarity to see these sorts of goings on at the very elite level of European football and, truth be told, it was riveting stuff. Football - at its best - is theatre; it is tension and it is suspense. And this agg was that tension and suspense spilling over a little.

This could end up being a footnote in a continued working relationship, or it could further blow up and define this club's season.
However, despite appearing to be cruising to three points, Wolves were then given an almighty late scare as James Ward-Prowse curled home a 35-yard free-kick with six minutes to go, the midfielder's 12th in the Premier League leaving him now only behind David Beckham in the competition's all-time list.

We're not saying that the Premier League's approach is incorrect, as such; that's beyond our ken. But it's worth being clear that part of the cost will be borne here, in the sporting integrity of what is still, just about, a sporting competition. The idea that the first lockdown season should come with an asterisk was mostly a joke to annoy Liverpool fans, and it did good work as such.
