Newcastle coach Graeme Jones was celebrating on Tuesday night, as his current employers England beat Czech Republic 1-0 at Wembley.
England have finished top of Group D at Euro 2020 thanks to Tuesday night’s win.
The Three Lions ended the group stage with seven points, winning twice and drawing once.
While they’ve received a lot of backlash, as per usual, they are yet to concede a goal. In fact, they haven’t conceded since the 2-1 win over Poland on March 31st.
It was a professional performance from England, despite Gareth Southgate receiving criticism before kick off for his team selection.
One of the big talking points was right wing, where Bukayo Saka started ahead of Jadon Sancho.
But Southgate’s decision was justified, with the Arsenal youngster putting in a scintillating display. He was brilliant offensively and defensively, and played an important role in the only goal of the game.
After the game, Newcastle United posted a picture on their official Twitter account of Jones putting an arm around Saka ahead of the game.
Clearly Jones’ warm embrace gave him all the encouragement he needed.
Jones has been a positive influence at Newcastle since arriving, and appears to be doing very well under Southgate as well.
Toon fans have been having fun with the picture on Twitter, with some pondering what Jones might have been whispering in Saka’s ear.
Some questioned whether he was asking him to have a word with Joe Willock, while others suggested he was tapping Saka up himself ahead of a possible takeover.
