'The Premier League was quite hard, I had to go off with cramps' – Woltemade
Twenty-nine minutes. That's all Nick Woltemade needed.
Not only to open his account for Newcastle United – but to be serenaded with his own chant after scoring on his debut against Wolves.
Woltemade went on to receive a standing ovation after the record signing came off midway through the second half of his side's 1-0 win.
His contribution was certainly timely as it was revealed post match that fellow new striker signing Yoane Wissa is likely to be out until after the next international break in October.
It is remarkable to think Woltemade only had a handful of training sessions with his new team-mates before his first appearance.
You would not necessarily have known it as he was pushed in front of the Gallowgate End by Joelinton to take the acclaim of the crowd after the game.
