Any Newcastle United fan feeling anxious about the visit of Norwich won't have been helped by a mile-a-minute first half.

The Magpies went into the break 3-2 up against Alex Neil's side, with all the goals coming in a 20-minute spell in the middle of the first period. Fans of Steve McClaren's side were dreading another winless game before the teams kicked off at St James' Park. https://twitter.com/popeformosus/status/655662594276139008 Even the neutrals were hardly enthused by the prospect of a less than 'Super' Sunday. https://twitter.com/SamAlexWarren/status/655751116831985664 But they opened up an early lead through Gini Wijnaldum as Norwich took time to get out of the starting blocks. https://twitter.com/caniggiascores/status/655764038568296448 Dieumerci Mbokani equalised - far too easily in the view of some home supporters. https://twitter.com/NUFC_Index/status/655767236964171776 But another from Wijnaldum soon followed before Ayoze Perez made it 3-1. https://twitter.com/ToonArmyAmerica/status/655772072031997952 But of course, it wouldn't stay 3-1 for long as Nathan Redmond pulled one back. https://twitter.com/lee_ryder/status/655768998148231168 This tweet from a Newcastle fan summed it all up at the break. https://twitter.com/ponsaeIius/status/655769442459193344
