The Boxing Day matches in England kicked off with a spectacular display of goals and entertainment. The most prolific match so far has been the clash between Newcastle and Stoke City, ending in a resounding 5-1 victory for Newcastle.
The game started on a positive note for Stoke City, with a splendid goal from Oussama Assaidi, on loan from Liverpool. Assaidi, who had previously scored a remarkable goal against Chelsea, continued to showcase his skill with a nearly perfect strike that left Petr Cech helpless.
However, Stoke City’s fortunes took a turn for the worse as they suffered two red cards. Newcastle capitalized on their numerical advantage, with two goals from Loïc Rémy, and additional goals from Gouffran, Cabaye, and, notably, Papiss Cisse. Cisse, ending a goal drought of 1208 minutes, converted a penalty to contribute to Newcastle’s emphatic victory. The match was a thrilling spectacle with goals, drama, and excitement for the fans.
