'Championship here we come' - Newcastle fans issue relegation verdict after Norwich draw

Newcastle United fans fear relegation is almost inevitable after drawing their bottom of the table clash with Norwich City.

Eddie Howe's side made a promising start to the contest but the match shifted on a straight red card for Ciaran Clark after just nine minutes.

The defender mishit a clearance which allowed Teemu Pukki to run in on goal, and the 32-year-old was then dismissed after pulling the striker down.

From then on, it was a backs to the wall display for the hosts, and the prospect of an unlikely win was raised when Callum Wilson fired them in front from the penalty spot.

However, the Canaries managed to hit back when Teemu Pukki expertly rifled a first-time volley into the top corner with just 11 minutes to go.

The draw means Newcastle have now gone 15 matches in all competitions without a win, and currently sit six points adrift of safety ahead of another huge encounter with Burnley on Saturday.

Here is how Newcastle United fans reacted to the home draw with Norwich City.

'Championship here we come'

'I'm not positive'

'Not the fault of the ten'

'No time to dwell on it'

'Plan for the Championship'

'We're going down'
