Two years since they scored from a corner
When it comes to flag-kick failure, Newcastle United have got it cornered.
October 1, 2011, Molineux. On a freakishly warm, autumn afternoon, an equally freakish occurrence unfolded - the Magpies scored from a corner-kick.
Yohan Cabaye floated to the near post where Demba Ba nicked in to head home.
It set the visitors on their way to a 2-1 victory over Wolves, who, incidentally, now reside in League One.
Fast forward more than two years, 78 matches and 375 corners, and the Toon Army are still waiting.
