Burton 1 Newcastle 2
Newcastle ensured that they'll be top of the table on Christmas Day with a hard-fought win at Burton on Saturday.
Dwight Gayle gave United a 15th-minute lead but it was short-lived as Lloyd Dyer equalised five minutes later for a spirited Burton side.
However, Mohamed Diame continued his fine form with what proved to be the winner as the Magpies picked up another vital three points towards their promotion bid.
It was the first ever competitive meeting between Newcastle and Burton and Club Photographer Serena Taylor was there to capture it for nufc.co.uk.
