Newcastle United haven’t made a bad start to their 2019/20 campaign, securing four points from their first four fixtures.

Steve Bruce knows he has lots of work to do to win over the supporters but it’s a case of so far so good at the moment.

The international break has seen some members of his squad head out to play a couple of matches for their national team and that might bode well in some cases.

One man who will return full of confidence is forward Miguel Almiron.

The Paraguayan signed for the Magpies from Atlanta United for £20 million in January (BBC Sport) and has been busy getting up to speed.

Last night he netted his first goal for his country during a 4-2 win over Jordan and it delighted the Newcastle faithful.

Having signed from a team in the MLS there was always going to be a settling in period for Almiron.

Last season he did reasonably well, but this season will be the one where supporters will hope he can make a real impact on the team.

Here is a selection of Tweets following a first international goal for Almiron:
