In the second half Newcastle ran riot 势不可挡, with Geremi, Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins all getting on the scoresheet 上了记分牌.
Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan said that there was not a "weak link" in the team, meaning the whole team played well and no single player performed poorly.
He also praised his keeper 守门员, saying he made two "world-class" saves. To describe something as "world-class" is to say it is of extremely high quality.
The result eases the pressure 减轻了压力 on Keegan, who sees his side move nine points clear of the relegation zone.
After failing to achieve a win in his first nine games in charge 主管, Keegan thinks things are "starting to look up now" for his team. By this he means that the situation is looking more positive and hopeful than before.
