DeAndre Yedlin shined in his first league start with Newcastle, but the U.S. Men’s National Team defender’s success may have come with a price.
The fullback created Newcastle’s lone goal in the 28th minute, but left the match in the second half due to injury. Yedlin pulled up with an apparent ankle injury, prompting a substitution in the 73rd minute.
73' – DeAndre Yedlin down again for United and he receives treatment towards the Holte End. Cheick Tioté will come on in his place. #NUFC

Prior to the injury, Yedlin shined in the absence of Vurnon Anita, who served the second match of his three-game suspension. The fullback created Newcastle’s first half finish, firing a ball across the box from the right side before Tommy Elphick turned it into his own net.
Newcastle returns to action on Wednesday against Norwich.
Here’s a closer look at Yedlin’s contribution on the own goal:

Still waiting, Ives…..
Yeah – hundreds of SBI readers are waiting for in-depth analysis of Sunderland AFC’S game this week
Memo to readers: Ives doesn’t work here anymore
Ives…. How dare you post a championship article without posting my Running Commentary article…. You know what’s coming……….
This is very confusing. The headline seems to say he created an own goal which counted against Newcastle. He created a goal for Newcastle which was scored as an own goal against Villa.
Creating an own goal is different from conceding an own goal. Title is correct 🙂
maybe “forces own goal” would be both correct & more clear?
Notice that I didn’t say it was incorrect; I said that it was confusing, which it was (and has since been changed for clarity).
🙂
It read that way to me too @fast leg!
