Ruud dedicates goal to Robson

Ruud van Nistelrooy completed Newcastle’s misery with an injury-time strike and then dedicated it to their former manager Sir Bobby Robson.

The Dutchman, who worked with Robson during his formative years at PSV Eindhoven, revealed after yesterday’s 2-0 win at St James’ Park that he had bumped into the 72-year-old at his team’s Tyneside hotel before the game.
