Match Events

I think there was a yellow card before kick off but for who?

Kick off

1 min: Gordon scores.. yes in the first minute. Kamara loses the ball in the middle, then Joelinton drives forward free in the middle, passes to Gordon who cuts in and curls it in from the edge of the box. Good goal but how... Newcastle have done it again.

13 min: Cash gets a yellow for fouling Gordon

22 min: Trippier is booked for a late tackle on Onana

31 min: Duran sent off. For stamping on Schar

45 min: Joelinton is booked

Half time, a goal down and a man down.

Tielemans replaced by Watkins at the break

58 min: Isak scores… Murphy is sent through as he beats the trap, centres it for Isak who then slots in.

68 min: Kamara, Cash, Rogers all replaced for Bailey, Ned and Barkley

77 min: Targett and Barnes and Willock for Murphy, Trippier and Gordon

79 min: Buendia on for McGinn

81 min: Bruno scores… Konsa tries to clear the ball, but it comes off Bruno and he scores. The twat celebrated like he won the World Cup when he just stood in place and did nothing

Goal ruled out for Bruno handball.

92 min: Onana loses the ball to Joelinton who dribbles a bit and curls it to the top corner.
