Georginio Wijnaldum reveals the Newcastle United game which has help define his football career

Georginio Wijnaldum has labelled Newcastle United's 6-2 win over Norwich City as one of the 'defining matches' of his career.

The Dutchman netted four goals in the victory back in 2015, and it was arguably his best performance in a United shirt. Unfortunately, the Magpies were relegated at the end of the season - Wijnaldum's only one in the North East , and he finished the campaign with 11 goals.

Despite Rafa Benitez agreeing to stay on as manager, Wijnaldum was not persuaded to commit to United in the Championship and sealed a £25million deal to Liverpool.

Yet despite the fall out of the top flight, Wijnaldum still looks back on his time at United fondly.

Marking the four year anniversary of the game against Norwich wrote: "Four years ago today, one of the defining matches of my career. Blessed memories."
