Christian Wade equalled Chris Ashton's Premier League try‑scoring record when he crossed for his 101st try, helping Newcastle secure their first league win of the season against Sale.
The victory marked a bright moment for the Falcons, who had struggled to find the back of the net in the opening fixtures. Wade’s milestone try was a decisive contribution to the win, which saw Newcastle move out of the bottom of the table.
Wade’s 101st try ties the record held by former England winger Chris Ashton, who set the benchmark in the Premiership. The achievement underscores Wade’s consistency and endurance in the top tier of English rugby.
With the win, Newcastle now have a positive start to their campaign, while Sale will look to regroup after the defeat. The match was a reminder of the high stakes in the Premiership, where individual records can be matched in the heat of competition.
