Jonjo Shelvey requested to play in the PL2 match at Fulham and it paid off as he got the only goal for Newcastle United to claim a fourth win in a row.
The midfielder, who has been recovering from a thigh injury, struck in the 61st minute at Motspur Park as the Magpies stay in fourth position and the playoff places of Division 2.
