Hughton: Carroll prepared for bad times

Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has warned man of the moment Andy Carroll that life in the Barclays Premier League will not always be as rewarding as it was on Sunday.

The 21-year-old marked his first top-flight game at St James’ Park as the Magpies’ number nine with a fine hat-trick in a 6-0 hammering of Aston Villa, catapulting himself into the national headlines.
