ALAN Pardew celebrated his first match in charge of Newcastle with a 3-1 win over Liverpool in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Midfielder Joey Barton and striker Andy Carroll scored in the final 10 minutes to give Pardew, who was appointed on Thursday as the replacement for the fired Chris Hughton, the perfect start to life at the northeast club.
Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan, a Liverpudlian like Barton, put the home side ahead in the 15th minute but Netherlands forward Dirk Kuyt leveled in the 49th.
The win lifted Newcastle into eighth place on 22 points, above 18-time champion Liverpool on goal difference.
The popular Hughton was fired on Monday despite leading the team out of the second-tier League Championship and into a mid-table position in the Premier League. Former West Ham, Charlton and Southampton manager Pardew was seen by some as a controversial replacement but he couldn't have dreamed of a better start to his tenure.
Barton's free-kick in the 15th minute was headed down by Carroll for Nolan to sweep home from close range and put Newcastle ahead.
Newcastle defender Sol Campbell failed to deal adequately with a long ball and Kuyt took advantage, running through into the area and firing a shot that deflected off Steven Taylor and spun past goalkeeper Tim Krul into the bottom corner.
Newcastle looked more dangerous going forward. The hosts were not to be undone as Skrtel failed to deal with another flick-on by Carroll and Barton nipped in to toe-poke a finish past Reina. The irrepressible Carroll then wrapped up the victory in the first of four minutes of injury time by smashing a low shot past Reina.
Earlier, Manchester City raced to a 3-1 victory at bottom club West Ham United. Midfielder Yaya Toure scored the opener and forced an own goal from keeper Robert Green before substitute Adam Johnson completed a routine victory.
City joined leader Arsenal on 32 points and is one ahead of Manchester United.
Aston Villa beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1, Blackpool continued its impressive return to the top flight with a 1-0 win at Stoke City and there were no goals in the games between Fulham and Sunderland and Everton and Wigan Athletic.
