Newcastle United made it 3 wins on the bounce as all 3 strikers got on the scoresheet against Steve Coppell’s Reading.
Obafemi Martins put Newcastle ahead when he controlled Nicky Butt’s pass and buried it beyond Marcus Hahnemann.
John Oster had a chance to level as Reading looked to respond but saw his header tipped away before Michael Owen hooked Habib Beye’s cross into the net for his 4th goal in 4 games.
Beye set up Mark Viduka, who completed a confident win for Kevin Keegan’s men with a sure-footed second-half strike.
