Newcastle United must be sick of the sight of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The Leeds United striker has now scored eight times against the club he was previously linked with in years gone by.
So you suspect the beleaguered visitors will have been a little relieved to see him substituted late on after he had a hand in two of Leeds' goals in this impressive 4-1 win.
Elland Road was unsurprisingly on its feet to hand Calvert-Lewin a deserved standing ovation when he came off.
On a night Leeds fans repeatedly taunted Newcastle for spending "all that money" with little return on Monday night, at least, it was a free transfer who caused the visitors real problems with a goal and an assist.
So is the 29-year-old making a case for an England recall?
Leeds manager Daniel Farke certainly thinks so as he threw his weight behind Calvert-Lewin and a number of others in his side with "English passports".
"He's a handful and tough for each and every defender," he said.
"He's difficult to play against. He's at a top fitness level. You can see he plays with confidence and a good rhythm, but also benefits from a really strong team and players who work for him.
"Dominic is a crucial player and if he shows this type of form, he's definitely one of the best strikers in this league. It's the best league in the world and that more or less sums up what I think about him as a player." (BBC)
