Newcastle thought they had opened the scoring when Callum Wilson fired home from close range but referee Craig Pawson disallowed the goal due to a foul in the buid up.
The hosts finally got their breakthrough and it came from the penalty spot. Wilson stepped up to convert and earn a priceless 3 points.
