Newcastle‘s men’s, women’s and under-21 sides will wear black armbands during their pre-season matches to honour Keegan, who guided the club to Premier League promotion in 1992-93 and second place in the 1995-96 top flight.
A minute’s silence will be observed before Eddie Howe’s side play Gateshead in an away friendly this Saturday.
Keegan’s photo will be displayed on screens at St James’ Park in the seventh minute –
Swansea head coach Vitor Matos:
“I think it was a good game from our side, especially the first half. I was really happy, really proud of the boys.
“I think someone said a nice word, tenacity. I think it was really good from the players. I think we were sharp, we were dominant, we were aggressive. We controlled the game, had chances, scored the goal.

Charlton manager Nathan Jones:
“We didn’t play well. Did we not play well because we were bad or Swansea were good?
“Swansea are a good side, they have good players, they are well coached.
“At times we have to dust ourselves down. If you don’t play well then don’t lose. If you can’t win a game then don’t lose it, and that’s what we have done today.
“I’m delighted for
Boro had claimed more points per game on home soil than any other side in the division before kick-off.
But, just as they did in their 1-0 victory against Oxford United three days earlier, Wrexham started on the front foot as Sol Brynn denied Ryan Longman in the sixth minute.
After going short from the resulting corner, George Thomason fed Windass, whose shot struck Dael Fry before sailing beyond
Birmingham ended the opening half having had two thirds of the possession, and yet, their xG [expected goals] figure of 0.33 was dwarfed by the 1.61 managed by the hosts.
Davies’ men badly needed a spark in the final third but, despite the best efforts of Gray, they found it difficult to trouble Okonkwo.

Millwall boss Alex Neil:
“Out of the four, maybe five, opportunities [in the last 15 minutes] you’d hope we’d take at least one of them, and we’d have deserved it.
“We’d have been talking about a really good performance, really good win. And don’t get me wrong, we’re still talking about a really good performance but just a bit unfortunate we’ve not been able to get across the line.

Chelsea looked to their extensive bench to win the match, bringing on Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Pedro Neto to win the game with a man advantage, but Palmer had two chances well saved by Matz Sels and Felix headed an effort wide in stoppage time.
There were two huge efforts saved in the closing minutes.

The rain threatened to dampen Leicester’s day and, while their return to the top light has not been perfect, they have collected three draws from their opening five games to lie 15th in the table.
But they will need to start picking up victories quickly if they are to survive, particularly manager Cooper, whose winless run in the division – including his time at previous club Nottingham Forest – extended
Chelsea have once again been busy in the transfer market as they look to create a side they hope can challenge for the Premier League top four.
The arrival of Wolves forward Pedro Neto for £54m earlier this month took them to 11 summer signings with an average age of under 21, spending £185m since June 14 and bulking up their squad to more than 50 senior players.
They begin
