With a spectacular comeback, Newcastle United turned the game against Leeds United in stoppage time. National player Nick Woltemade was previously substituted.
In the end it was 4:3 (1:2) for Newcastlewhich had been behind three times. Harvey Barnes scored in the twelfth minute (!) of stoppage time for the celebrated victory.
Unlucky Thiaw
Things weren’t looking good for them before Magpies and especially not for Malick Thiaw. The German international was shown a yellow card early on (7th). The 24-year-old then slipped before the visitors took the lead through Brenden Aaronson (32′) before causing the penalty with a handball, which Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted flatly (45’+5). Thiaw was substituted at half-time.
An assist from Woltemade
Nick Woltemade, on the other hand, had previously prepared the Magpies’ equalizer from Barnes (36th), and ex-Hoffenheim player Joelinton (54th) equalized again. Aaronson (79th) initially took Leeds’ third lead, but then he got the ball on his arm in his own penalty area.
St. James Park – a madhouse
Bruno Guimaraes (90+1, hand penalty) and Barnes turned St. James’ Park into a madhouse late on and shot Newcastle back into the European Cup race with their third win in a row.
Leeds, coach Daniel Farke’s team, remains 16th in the table. eight points ahead of the relegation zone.
