Premier League:
Heads you lose

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 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 connect 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.

The defeat left the Magpies languishing in 15th with just one victory from six games.

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 emulated Les Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Daniel Cordone, Papiss Cisse and Moussa Sissoko by scoring in both of his first two Premier League home appearances.

Out now from Pitch Publishing 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.

Newcastle U18s  1  Stoke City U21s  3

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.

Team: Mair, Bloomer, Goodbrand (Durrant 59), Epia, Johnson, Miley (Cogdon 59), Alabi, Taylor (Pinnington 54), Hutchison, O'Donovan (Moran 74), Seldon.

Match report

Carabao Cup:
Magpies v Cockerels

Newcastle's reward for defeating the Bantams is a Fourth Round Carabao Cup home tie against Tottenham Hotspur.

That will be played at St. James' Park on Wednesday October 29th, kick-off 8pm.

Season ticket holders signed up to the cup scheme will be charged £20 or £25 depending on seat location, with monies taken seven days after the fixture date is confirmed.

Fourth Round draw:

Arsenal v Brighton
Grimsby Town v Brentford
Swansea City v Manchester City
Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur
Wrexham v Cardiff City
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Wolves v Chelsea
Wycombe Wanderers v Fulham

This is the fourth time that the two sides have been paired in this competition, United winning the 1975/76 semi-final on aggregate - losing 0-1 in North London but recovering to triumph 3-1 on Tyneside in the second leg.

The Magpies lost the next meeting 1-2 at Gallowgate in September 2008, before going down 0-4 at White Hart Lane in the most recent pairing during December 2014.

The draw gives Eddie Howe's side three successive home games in as many competitions: a Champions League tie against Benfica, the visit of Fulham in the Premier League and then concluding with the Spurs League Cup tie.

Thomas Frank's Cockerels by contrast have a trio of away fixtures: Monaco in the Champions League, Everton in the Premier League and then Newcastle at SJP. 

Frank has defeated Newcastle in this competition before, guiding Brentford to a 1-0 home success during 2020/21.

The fanzone will operate on Tuesday night and all day Wednesday, with the tie on TV for ticketless travellers.

Bars and restaurants are located around the square and capacity is around 4,000 with no tickets required. The meeting point is O'Reillys.

Nearest Metro: Bourse.

Team: Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey remain out but Lewis Hall is expected to return after the full back was rested for last Sunday's visit of Arsenal.

Tino Livramento's condition is yet to be revealed after he was stretchered off during the defeat by the Gunners.

Fabian Schar is set to return after missing three games in order to observe concussion protocols.

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 gone.

2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.

On This Day in History
29th September


Born Or Died:

1910 Joseph William Wilson born, West Butsfield, Durham. (1927-30)

Centre half who made his sole senior start for the Magpies in a 2-2 home draw with Aston Villa in December 1929.

Joe then moved on to Southend United and also appeared for Brentford and Reading before the outbreak of WW2.

The wartime leagues then saw him turn out for York City, before ending his playing career at the age of 37 at Barnsley.

Returning to the North East as Blyth Spartans player boss in 1948, Wilson later served on the staff at Consett and found employment at the town's steel plant.

Wilson - whose son Carl also made one appearance for Newcastle - died in 1996.

1971 Jason Peake born, Coalville. (1992)

Midfielder who had a single outing as a trialist in a strong Magpies reserve XI that beat Crook Town 8-1 during July 1992. 

A product of Leicester City's Academy, Peake's senior debut for the Foxes came in 1990 but he remained a reserve team regular - scoring against Newcastle in a Central League fixture during April 1991.

Released by Leicester in 1992 following a brief loan period at Hartlepool United, Jason won a deal at Halifax Town.

Subsequently, spells followed at Rochdale, Brighton & Hove Albion, Bury, Rochdale (again) and Plymouth Argyle.

Loaned out by the Pilgrims to Nuneaton Borough in 2000, he made a permanent switch and remained there for three years before retiring due to injury.

Peake later became a chiropodist based in Leicester.

1979 Jamie Burt
born, Ashington.
(1994-97)

One of two brothers who played at junior and reserve level for United (David being the other), striker Jamie was once part of the same England schoolboy side as a certain Michael Owen.

Failing to win a professional deal at SJP following a drug dealing conviction, he returned to football with non-league
sides Scarborough and Whitby Town.

A goalscoring run for Whitby in the FA Cup prompted a move to Chesterfield in December 2001, with a Football League debut against QPR that same month.

Scoring eight times in 46 league and cup appearances, Jamie was loaned out to Carlisle United in early 2003, subsequently returning for second spells at both Scarborough and Whitby Town.

Playing Sunday football for Blyth Joiners Arms and Blyth Sports & Social, he also had a spell with Northern League Bedlington Terriers.

1996 Joe Kerridge
born, Newcastle.
(2013-15)

Forward associated with Newcastle since the age of eight who also played for Leam Rangers and began a two year scholarship with the Magpies in June 2013. 

Joe made his bow for the U18 side in a season-opening 0-3 loss at Aston Villa in August 2013, shortly after playing in the Northern Ireland Milk Cup for United.

Featuring for the U18s over the following two seasons, Kerridge didn't make the step up to the reserve side and was released at the end of the 2014/15 season.

Spending time on trial at Doncaster Rovers, Joe later played for Harton & Westoe CW, Easington Colliery, Billingham Town, North Shields, Heaton Stannington, Seaham Red Star and Ryton & Crawcrook Albion.

2000 Yannick Toure born, Dakar, Senegal.
(2018-21)

Centre forward who left his native Africa and relocated to Switzerland as a youngster, joining Young Boys Berne at the age of 10.

A prolific scorer, Yannick was capped by Switzerland U17s and had played for Young Boys U21s when he first came to Tyneside for a trial at United's Academy. 

Agreeing an initial three year deal to commence in July 2018 after his deal with Berne expired, an undisclosed compensation fee was paid by United to the Swiss side.

Yannick debuted from the bench during an U23 league victory over Aston Villa that October, getting off the mark in his next game against Manchester United.

Although never a regular scorer, he remained with the reserve squad until the end of the 2020/21 season when released.

Rejoining Young Boys in August 2021, Toure was later loaned out to both FC Wil and
Thun before his release in 2023.

Signing a two year contract with fellow Swiss side Aarau at that point, July 2025 found Yannick at Croatian side NK Osijek.

Picking up an injury in the pre-match warm up at Ashton Gate, John Gallacher hobbled around briefly, before giving way to debutant Lee Clark.

The 17 year-old midfielder had featured at junior and reserve level but didn't look out of place on his senior bow.

This match marked the only start that Neil Simpson made for Newcastle, lasting precisely 36 minutes. Neither he nor Gallacher played for the Magpies again.

Shola Ameobi and an own goal put United ahead, only for the Trotters to level thanks to a brace from Brazilian Jardel.

United left the Madesjki with a point, thanks to Demba Ba's controversial brace.

A second half deluge on and off the pitch at the King Power Stadium ended in Newcastle's heaviest loss in four years. 

One goal behind and very much second best, United went down to ten men when Isaac Hayden saw red in the 43rd minute.

Steve Bruce labelled his side as "passive"
after the game - a term that would be frequently used when describing them.
