Newcastle 1 Arsenal 2
Arsenal dramatically ended their losing run at Gallowgate on Sunday,
turning a 0-1 deficit with seven minutes left into a 2-1 advantage
after time added on.
Nick Woltemade had headed the Magpies into a 34th minute lead only
for ex-Magpie Mikel Merino to come off the bench and nod home a late
corner kick and make it 1-1.
Worse was to come for Eddie Howe's side, as another flag kick deep
into time added on eluded Nick Pope and saw Gabriel to head into the
unguarded net.
Mikel Arteta's side had left Tyneside empty-handed three times
without scoring over the last two years and to the delight of home
fans, he in full whinge mode when a pitchside VAR call overturned a
penalty award for his side.
Referee Jarred Gillett reversed his original decision after viewing
footage that established insufficient contact by Pope on Victor
Gyokeres as both had sought to reach a poor back pass in the
sixteenth minute.
The visiting boss was frustrated when Leandro Trossard's shot
rebounded off the goal frame and further incensed when Woltemade
netted, the German having made slight contact with Gabriel who
tumbled over far too easily and appealed for a foul in vain.
A shanked clearance by Cristhian Mosquera gave United a corner on
the left that Anthony Gordon played short to Sandro Tonali. He swung
over a delightful centre allowing Big Nick to head in his second
Magpies goal, from similar range to his first against Wolves at the
Leazes End.
Following an additional seven minutes mostly triggered by the
lengthy VAR decision, a pulsating first half ended with United
having taken virtually their only scoring chance.
They would manage to fashion a couple more after the break, when
Joelinton fired agonisingly across goal before Jacob Murphy raced
onto an inspired Bruno through ball, only to be blocked by Declan
Rice as he shaped to shoot.
In between those two rare moments of upfield action though, the
relentless attacking of the visitors had called Pope into action
again, this time swooping down to prevent a Jurrien Timber header
from creeping inside a post.
A trio of home replacements failed to stop the ball spending
increasing amounts of time in the Newcastle half and an injury to
Tino Livramento saw him exit on a stretcher.
That caused a further reshuffle to a defence that began as a back
four with Dan Burn at left back and Livramento on the other flank
before the latter moved wings when the arrival of Kieran Trippier
saw a shift to a five man unit.
Burn resumed on the left as Jamaal Lascelles joined Sven Botman and
Malick Thiaw in a central trio to thwart what became increasingly
desperate attempts to keep Arsenal at bay, not helped by Pope's
haphazard distribution.
That pressure finally bore fruit with six minutes of normal time
remaining, when a short corner was pumped in from the left by Rice
and SJP old boy Mikel Merino headed it inside the far post in not
dissimilar fashion to his only Toon goal, against Crystal Palace at
the same end in 2017.
Barely had the celebrations subsided than a Newcastle attack ended
with vociferous penalty appeals when Gabriel threw himself towards
Anthony Elanga as he shaped to cross from the right hand side of the
area.
A belated stoppage for a VAR review concluded that the contact came
via the ball rebounding off Gabriel's shin and on to his hand - a
conclusion that appeared out of keeping with several other recent
spot kick awards for handball.
Thiaw and Lascelles both made timely interventions deep in their own
area, before a second bout of added time misery afflicted Newcastle,
replicating last month's late Liverpool loss here and leaving them
empty-handed again.
This time it was a right wing corner from Odegaard that dropped into
the six yard box, Pope failing to with his attempted punch and
Gabriel getting ahead of Burn to prompt extravagant Arsenal
celebrations at pitchside.
A heartbreaking end to a furious contest then, with a multiplicity
of talking points in addition to the VAR calls - Woltemade struck in
the face by the player who would supply the winning goal and
visiting defenders getting away with perpetual shirt pulling by a
myopic linesman.
As the manager admitted though, spirit and endeavour weren't quite
enough to eclipse or contain an Arsenal side who refused to be
stonewalled as in previous visits here. The moaning may have
continued, but so did their drive.
With no standout contributions from United's three attacking
substitutes, a reformatted defence eventually buckled under the
pressure of set piece specialists.
Heads you lose.

Eddie Howe said:
"Two really late goals here at home hurts. We have to
reflect and acknowledge that we weren't at our best. There was not
lack of effort but from a footballing side, it wasn't quite there.
"That was probably the key thing, the number of corners. I
think Odegaard made a difference to their overall performance. The
weight of pressure eventually told. No lack of effort but the little
details have cost us.
"I thought we tried. We gave everything to the game. It was really
physical. I don't think we were at our best today being honest -
Arsenal played very well.
"We had our chances in the game and we took the lead and we were
desperate to try and hang on to that lead. Nick (Pope) made
some good saves for us but it wasn't to be and we conceded
set-pieces at the end so disappointing.
"Early on in the game we didn't look our best physically. We
looked jaded. We took the lead and sometimes you will have days,
especially with the schedule we have this season, where you are not
physically at your best and you have to find a way to win and we
weren't able to do that.
"Martin Odegaard made a difference for them, he started to penetrate
our lines more. We defended the set-pieces pretty well until the
end.
"They are always a threat, they have got great players. I don't
think we hit our best levels and then collectively you suffer. We
were in the lead and we had what we wanted and we were looking to
close the game down."
On issues with his revamped squad:
"There is a player change for us but we can't us that as an
excuse. We have to win with the players we have. It was great to
have Nick (Woltemade) score and we did have other chances in
the game. We have to take accountability for that and do better.
Nick and Yoane (Wissa) are totally different players and we
are never going to find another Alex (Isak), but we can find
a way to be effective with them in the team. Great to see Nick get
two goals so early in his Newcastle career."
On his side's second half penalty claim for handball:
"I haven't seen it again so that's why I haven't mentioned it. I
don't know if VAR didn't give the handball, I had a feeling it was
initially but it wasn't given so you have to accept it. You have to
look at yourselves first otherwise you will not grow and develop."
"You are always in the hands of VAR and I have to trust both
decisions - one for us and one against us."
On the extent of Tino Livramento's injury:
"I don't know, I haven't spoken to him or anyone from the medical
side yet. It doesn't sound great. The fact he came off on a
stretcher is not looking good."
Stats:
Tino Livramento made his 50th Premier League start for
Newcastle while Sandro Tonali reached the half century of PL
appearances (39 starts).
Nick Woltemade follows Les Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Daniel Cordone,
Papiss Cisse and Moussa Sissoko by scoring in both his first two
Premier League home appearances.

New from Pitch
Publishing this Monday is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill
McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.
The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons,
winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines
worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.
Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in
managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to
Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.
"Bill McCracken..." is available to
direct from the publisher via their Amazon shop
here
with an exclusive discount.
We had two copies up for grabs and asked you to predict the final score in
Sunday's Newcastle v Arsenal game.
Nine of your correctly answered that the visitors would win by the
odd goal in three, meaning that a random draw was required to pick
B.Chandler and David Vasey as winners.

A below-par performance from United's youngsters
at Little Benton on Saturday morning saw them slip to their first
defeat of the season.
Both sides struggled to make headway in breezy conditions before the
visitors were gifted an opening goal in the 32nd minute, goalkeeper
George Mair's misdirected clearance falling to Jamal Khan who
supplied an accurate finish.
Stoke then twice came close to extending their advantage before the
interval; Elliot Fearn's ball from the right wing glancing off the
far post on 34 minutes and Pedro Nzau firing against the goal frame
ten minutes later.
The Potters doubled their lead 12 minutes into the second period
when striker Jayden Ogbebor met Fearn's cross and planted his
first-time effort into the net.
A third away goal followed within 60 seconds after United were
bullied out of possession deep in their own half, the unmarked Ryan Liu left with a routine finish.
Having lost striker Kacey Wooster and winger Mo Waddani to U21 duty
the previous evening, Newcastle struggled to make any headway in the
final third of the field.
15 year-old prospect Alfie Seldon did get one back with a run and
shot on 72 minutes for his second goal in as many games, but Stoke
were never in danger of surrendering the points despite picking up a
red card during time added on - the third successive fixture they've
finished with ten men.

USG:
Coach Sebastien Pocognoli has been in charge since 2024, having ended
his playing career at USG in 2021. The 38 year-old spent time at
West Bromwich Albion and was part of the Baggies side beaten 2-0 by
Newcastle at the Hawthorns in the Premier League during November
2014.
Fast forward to February 2017 and the full back appeared for
Brighton as the Magpies won 2-1 at the Amex in the Championship.
Union are captained by English-born defender Christian Burgess, who
enjoyed a lower league career
including spells at Hartlepool United, Peterborough United and
Portsmouth before heading to Belgium in 2021.
They remain top of the table and unbeaten in all nine league games
so far this season (19 games including last season) after a 2-0 home
win over Westerlo on Saturday.
That was staged the Joseph Marien Stadium that they have played
at for over a century. It holds 9,500 fans.
Their maiden Champions League fixture ended in a 3-1 away victory
over PSV Eindhoven.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

On This Day in History |

28th September |

Born Or Died:
1918 Tommy
McGarry born Heworth.
(1937-38)
Centre forward who was playing for local side
Washington Colliery when invited for a trial by
Huddersfield Town during 1937.
Tommy played for the Terriers in a reserve game
against Newcastle at SJP, but within weeks
had agreed professional terms with the
Magpies.
Despite scoring four times in pre-season practice
matches between NUFC XIs though, he failed to win a place in the senior side.
Spending the season in the club's Central League
and Northern Alliance sides he ended up with
43 goals to his name in total - including
hat-tricks in six consecutive Northern Alliance
appearances.
However, Tommy wasn't retained by United and moved
on to Hartlepools in July 1938.
Subsequently
signing for Bradford Park Avenue during March
1939, McGarry was called up for army service days
before his 21st birthday but was able to continue
playing as he was stationed at Harrogate.
He marked his return to Hartlepool with PA the following
March by scoring three times against his old side
but suffered a broken leg during a game a month
later.
Following service in the Army (and a place in a
touring XI captained by Denis Compton), McGarry
signed for North Shields ahead of 1946/47
season.
A prolific scorer at Appleby Park, he moved on
to Annfield Plain in 1950.
1972 Rodney Jack born,
St.Vincent, West Indies. (1996)
Compact, fleet-footed striker in the
Lomana LuaLua mould, who attracted the attention
of then-SJP boss Kevin Keegan after some
good scouting reports from Torquay United.
Jack trained with the Magpies on a trial basis in
October 1996, but returned to Plainmoor amid
claims of work permit issues, a mooted £250K
transfer failing to happen.
February 1997 then saw him go through a
similar trial spell at the mackems, but again no
deal was completed and Jack resumed his playing
career with the Gulls.
A permanent transfer to Crewe Alexandra was
concluded 1998, later moves taking him to Rushden & Diamonds,
Oldham Athletic, Republic of Ireland side
Waterford, back to Crewe, Southport and Nantwich Town.
The former St. Vincent and Grenadines
international retired from playing at Nantwich
in 2012, later working at a supermarket in
Crewe.
1985 James Perch born,
Mansfield.
(2010-13)
A graduate of the Nottingham Forest Youth Academy,
James signed his first professional contract
in 2002, appearing in central midfield against the
Magpies in a reserve game at the City Ground in
2005.
His first team debut had come earlier that same
season and he also would go on to feature for
Forest at both full back and central defence.
Missing the first half of the 2009/10 season due
to injury, Perch had barely returned to the Forest
side when Newcastle made an unsuccessful bid for
him in January 2010.
However, his 220th and final appearance for Forest
proved to be their playoff semi-final second leg
defeat at home to Blackpool the following May.
Within two months James had completed a move to SJP and
made his first appearance in a pre-season victory
at Carlisle United.
A competitive debut followed in the season-
opening defeat at Old Trafford and he kept his
place at right back for the first five PL games of
the season, with Danny Simpson injured.
Those five games saw him yellow-carded each time,
making him the quickest player to reach a ban in
Premiership history at that time.
Suspended for the League Cup win at Chelsea, James returned to the starting XI for
the home game against Stoke City but headed into
his own net to hand the Potters a 2-1 victory in
September 2010.
Perch drifted out of the first team after the arrival
of Alan Pardew, losing his place at
full back and making infrequent appearances
covering at centre half.
The 2011/12 season however proved to be a
momentous one for Perch, who began it on the
club's reserve tour of Holland and then continued
to be a bit-part player for the first team until
the turn of the year.
2012 saw him play an
increasingly important role as
international call-ups, injuries and suspensions
began to have an effect.
Visibly growing in confidence during outings at
full back, centre half and midfield, James became something of a cult hero, earning the affectionate
nickname of "Perchinho."
Injuries to Ryan Taylor and
Simpson made 2012/13 his busiest season as a
Magpie: a half century of
league appearances, making his European debut and
scoring a first senior goal, at Old Trafford of
all places.
Although Newcastle stayed up, Perch dropped down a division
in a £700K move to relegated Wigan
Athletic in 2013, as he began the
final year of his deal.
Debuting in a 4-0 win at Barnsley, Perch's
second game as a Latic saw him a Wembley loser, beaten 0-2 by Manchester United
in the Charity
Shield.
His second season ended with demotion to League One,
James
remained a Championship player when joining QPR.
An unhappy reunion with Newcastle came
in September 2016, stretchered off during
our 6-0
win at Loftus Road.
Perch's time in West London ended in
June 2018 when he left on a free,
agreeing a two year deal with Scunthorpe United
following a trial at former club Wigan.
Moving on to League Two side Mansfield Town in
August 2020, James suffered a fractured skull in
a training ground accident just over a year
later.
Making a successful playing return five months
later, he remained at the Stags until summer
2023 before joining non-league Ilkeston Town
that September.
Perch announced his playing retirement in
January 2025.
1990 Stewart Bath born,
Stockton.
(2007-09)
Academy midfielder/defender who had the briefest of
introductions to reserve team football at SJP - as a 90th minute substitute against
Manchester United in April 2007.
Following a handful of further appearances,
Stewart was released by United two years later and
had trial for Rochdale.
Appearing for both Billingham
Synthonia and their
Northern League rivals Town, 2010 found Bath in
the USA, studying at Averett University in
Virginia and playing for their Cougars soccer side.
Bath returned to UK in 2014 with Whitby Town, before further spells at both
Billingham sides were dove-tailed by a diversion
to Guisborough Town.
By 2016 he had moved on to Wearside League side
Wolviston, becoming captain.
1995 Liam Smith born, South
Shields.
(2012-18)
Midfielder who debuted for the club's U18 side as
a substitute during a 0-1 defeat at Bolton in
March 2012, officially joining the club's Academy
during the close season.
Liam's reserve bow then came replacing Romain
Amalfitano in a 4-5 home loss to West Ham at
Whitley Park, three
weeks before his 18th birthday in 2013.
A back problem restricted his participation
for the U21s, but 16 league and cup appearances
during the 2014/15 season saw Smith sign his first
professional contract.
Fitness issues again hampered his progress, but
after United old boy and Blackpool boss Neil
McDonald saw him in a reserve game, Liam was
loaned to the Tangerines.
Debuting in a 0-1 home defeat to Coventry City in
March 2016, Smith played eight times for Blackpool
but failed to prevent their inevitable
demotion to League Two.
Liam started the 2016/17 season on loan at Crewe Alexandra,
but an injury picked up against Bolton Wanderers
in a friendly saw him return to Tyneside for
treatment.
He went back to Crewe but another
knock meant that he failed to play a game for
the Alex.
Ironically, Liam scored at Gresty Road
for United in an EFL Trophy group game during
August 2017, but was seldom seen after then and
released during June 2018.
Crewe offered him the chance to resurrect his
career and he featured as a trialist in an U23
fixture against Barnsley in September 2018.
However no contract offer followed.
After several years without a club, Smith joined
Hebburn Town in November 2021.

be the first black professional footballer to play in the
Football League.
This would be the third and final season that Newcastle
faced Rotherham Town, with the club folding in 1896.
Another club of the same name was then founded in 1899,
merging with Rotherham County to form Rotherham United in
1925.

Having won 3-2 in Paris the previous month, United got
the better of their French opposition once again in a
Friendship Cup competition.
Left winger Jimmy Wilson was drafted into the side and did
enough to retain his place and debut in the league the
following Saturday.
Four French and four British sides (ourselves, Boro,
Bolton and Liverpool) each played two games, the
trophy awarded to the nation amassing the greatest number
of points.
The result was 15-1 in favour of England, with the second
and final year of the event in 1961 seeing Blackburn,
Cardiff, Derby and Southampton run up a 10-6 winning
margin.

Following a feisty 0-0 draw in Dublin, United's first
European home tie since 1971 was a comfortable victory
over
With one eye on costs, the visitors flew to Leeds and then
drove to Newcastle by coach - stopping off en route to
pick up Derby County manager Tommy Docherty.
The Rams boss was at the first leg of the tie and keen to
sign Bohs duo Fran O'Brien and Gerry Ryan - adopting a
hands-on approach after learning of interest in the
players from Newcastle.
In the event though, only Ryan ended up at the Baseball
Ground amid talk that O'Brien's medical was
unsuccessful.
Recollections of attending the match as a youngster were
that Bohs were a
team of bearded men wearing shiny red shirts.

Following a 1-5 drubbing at White Hart Lane in
United's previous away game, things were a good deal tighter in
defence as Willie McFaul's side returned to North London
and took their first point off the Gunners in seven
meetings.

reserves drew 2-2 at home with Manchester City. United's
goals came from Ian Bogie and a 15 year old Lee Clark.

An elusive first home win of the season could have come from
the penalty spot, as a Derby hand swiped the ball away
near the goal line in a frantic finale. However, the
referee was unmoved.
Once again a static
United defence had conceded a set piece goal and after an
hour the on-loan pairing of Bobby Davison and Ian
Ormondroyd had both netted.
The second appearance of
United's on-loan "striker" Andy Walker ended when he was
replaced by Andy Hunt. The former non-league forward then
pulled a goal back and set up Quinn for a late equaliser,
as the home crowd at last had something to cheer.
The most
bizarre incident of the game was missed by the pressmen in
the Milburn stand, as a fierce dispute between the home
and away dugouts ended with Tony Galvin kicking a bucket
of water over Rams boss Arthur Cox and his assistants, and
then attempting to attack the visitors with a wooden
bench!
He was disarmed by his colleagues before damaging
anyone.

A rapid fire two-goal blast from
Obafemi Martins put United into the group stages of the UEFA Cup as they completed the job started in Estonia two weeks
earlier. Oba's first goals on Tyneside brought to
life a distinctly sterile encounter - the first 45 minutes being instantly
forgettable.
The second half was barely a minute old when
Martins rose majestically to meet an Emre corner and head home.
Oba then pounced on Antoine Sibierski's knock-down to drive in off the
bar and settle the tie.

Two goals in second half added time turned defeat into victory on an
incredible night at Gallowgate.
City were seemingly heading for top spot when
future Magpie Jacob Murphy put them 3-1 up midway
through the second half.
Dwight Gayle's second of the night reduced the arrears
and when Yoan Gouffran headed in, a point looked to have
been salvaged.
United had other ideas though and Dwight Gayle completed
his first treble for the club to send the ground into
total delirium.
Defeat would
have left Rafa's side languishing in ninth place but instead
they ended the game in third - a point behind the Canaries and three off leaders
Huddersfield Town.

A second half penalty conversion by Anthony
Gordon gave United a deserved point against the reigning champions at Gallowgate.
Gordon led the line for United in the absence of toe injury victim Alexander Isak
and won the spot kick when caught by City goalkeeper Ederson,
coolly dispatching his effort into the Leazes End net.
