The National's Sport cover for the Monday, December 7 issue, features Newcastle United's Georginio Wijnaldum celebrateing after Liverpool's Martin Skrtel scored an own goal during the 2-0 win for the home side at St James' Park.

A group that kicked off in the relegation zone defeated one that was suddenly being touted for the Premier League title.
