Newcastle one step closer to Wembley

Image
Arsenal 0 - 2 Newcastle United Alexander Isak’s impressive goalscoring streak continued as Newcastle United claimed a commanding first-leg victory over Arsenal in their Carabao Cup semi-final at the Emirates Stadium. Author - DJ The Magpies, who have never lifted the trophy, are now well-placed to reach their second final in three seasons. They’ll secure their spot at Wembley if they avoid defeat or lose by just one goal in the return leg at St James’ Park on 5 February. Arsenal, currently second in the Premier League, went into the tie as favourites but face an uphill battle in the second leg after a disappointing performance. Isak, in sensational form, scored his 14th goal in 15 games to set Newcastle on course for a seventh consecutive win. Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka launched a long free-kick forward, which Sven Botman flicked on. Jacob Murphy then teed up Isak, who showed great composure to lift his finish past David Raya. Anthony Gordon extended Newcastle’s advantage early i...

Throwback to a Christmas cracker from 1995

Image
December 1995: Manchester United 2 - 0 Newcastle United We're going to throwback to a Christmas cracker from 1995 when Manchester United were 10 points behind top-of-the-table Newcastle. Author - Olivia T What happened in the match? The atmosphere inside Old Trafford was electric, with both sets of fans aware of the stakes. After a poor run of form, the home side desperately needed a win, and the players had to deliver. An early goal from Andy Cole certainly settled some nerves for everyone associated with Manchester United.  At times, Keegan's team came agonisingly close to equalising as Peter Schmeichel pulled off a series of crucial saves to keep the home side in front. For all Newcastle's attacking prowess, their players struggled to find a way past United’s resilient defence. The second half saw United assert greater control. Their midfield, marshalled by Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, began to dominate the battle in the centre of the park. Victory was ultimately se...

Brentford keep firing at home

Image
Brentford 4 - 2 Newcastle United Brentford maintained their amazing home record in the Premier League with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Newcastle United. Author - Holly A The match began at a blistering pace, with both teams finding the net within the first 12 minutes. Bryan Mbeumo gave Brentford an early lead, only for Alexander Isak to equalise swiftly. Yoane Wissa put Brentford back in front, capitalising on a mistake by Harvey Barnes to notch his ninth goal in eight league matches. However, Barnes redeemed himself later with a brilliant turn and finish to make it 2-2. Early in the second half, Wissa nearly struck again for Brentford, his deflected effort pushed onto the post by Nick Pope. Moments later, Nathan Collins seized his chance, firing in with his left foot after a well-delivered free-kick. Kevin Schade wrapped things up late on, delicately chipping the ball home to secure Brentford's remarkable home record of seven wins and a draw in their eight league games ...

West Ham shock Newcastle

Image
Newcastle United 0 - 2 West Ham United Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were on target as West Ham claimed an impressive victory over Newcastle, easing the pressure on manager Julen Lopetegui. The Spanish coach, who succeeded David Moyes in the summer, had struggled to find consistency, with the Hammers managing just three wins in their opening 11 games. Author - William G from GMCR Football This eye-catching result, however, will boost belief among the club's fans that Lopetegui can steer the team in the right direction. Despite dominating for large stretches, Newcastle fell behind when Soucek headed in from a corner during the first half. Anthony Gordon had a golden chance to level the score after Jean-Clair Todibo's poor clearance gifted him a shot, but his effort was straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

Image
Aston Villa and Newcastle both won their opening-day fixtures. Let's explore what happened West Ham United 1 - 2 Aston Villa Substitute Jhon Duran clinched a late victory for Aston Villa as they kicked off their Premier League season with a win at West Ham. Duran seized onto Jacob Ramsey's pass and coolly tucked the ball into the bottom corner with just 11 minutes left, shortly after rumours circulated that the Hammers had made two unsuccessful bids for the striker. Amadou Onana marked his Villa debut in style, heading home Youri Tielemans' corner after just four minutes when the Belgian midfielder was left unmarked in the box. West Ham levelled the score before half-time when Matty Cash was deemed to have fouled Tomas Soucek during a tussle in the box. Lucas Paqueta converted the penalty, sending Emiliano Martinez the wrong way with a stuttered run-up as he slotted the ball into the bottom left corner. However, Duran ultimately had the final word, ensuring Villa's ...

 Newcastle United 1 - 1 Everton How important could this point prove to be for Everton? How costly could these two dropped points be in Newcastle's quest for European qualification?  Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a late penalty to secure a crucial point for Everton in their battle to avoid relegation and draw against Newcastle, who are still vying for a spot in Europe.

Image
 Chelsea 3 - 2 Newcastle United Cole Palmer played a pivotal role as Chelsea secured a victory against Newcastle in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge. Palmer made his mark in the 57th minute, skillfully controlling the ball before driving a powerful shot past goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The Blues took an early lead when Sven Botman's clearance was intercepted by Palmer, whose shot was expertly directed into the bottom corner by Nicolas Jackson for his second goal in as many league games.

EFL Cup: Chelsea progress on penalties to beat Newcastle

Image
 Chelsea 1 - 1 Newcastle United (Chelsea win 4-2 on penalties) Kieran Trippier had a nightmarish experience at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea secured a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals through a penalty shootout. Despite Callum Wilson's 16th-minute goal appearing to propel Newcastle into the last four, substitute Mykhailo Mudryk seized on the veteran defender's mistake deep into stoppage time, leading to the match heading to penalties. Trippier, who has recently struggled with a dip in form, widened Newcastle's second penalty, and with keeper Djordje Petrovic saving Matt Ritchie's spot-kick, Chelsea transitioned from the brink of defeat to the joy of reaching the semi-finals. It was a harsh outcome for Trippier, a key figure under manager Eddie Howe, whose moment of indecision on a header provided Chelsea with the lifeline Mudryk capitalized on. Chelsea's Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Christopher Nkunku, and Mudryk all scored in the shootout, while only Callum Wils...

AFC Bournemouth 2 - 0 Newcastle United Dominic Solanke scored twice against Newcastle to give his side a deserved win. Despite Bournemouth squandering numerous opportunities in the first half, Solanke finally broke the deadlock after an hour, seizing a lucky bounce off Joe Willock to calmly slot the ball in from close quarters. Solanke wasn't done yet, doubling Bournemouth's lead 13 minutes later by flicking in a rebound from Luis Sinisterra's header that had hit the post.

UCL: Newcastle earn a point at the San Siro

Image
 AC Milan 0 - 0 Newcastle United With a 0-0 draw at the San Siro, Newcastle earned what could prove to be a vital point after holding a dominant AC Milan to their first Champions League match in over twenty years. Eddie Howe's side qualified for the group stages for the first time since the 2002/03 season, joining Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, as well as Milan, last year's semifinalists. In such a daunting draw, any points gained away from St James' Park should be cherished - even if theis was mainly earned through gritty defending and opposition wastefulness. Newcastle were fortunate to go into half-time level with the hosts after Rafael Leao fluffed a backheel after a fine solo run. In the second half, the game became much more even. The visitors' Sandro Tonali had a shot blocked, while Tijjani Reijnders forced Pope into a decent save. More AC Milan news In the closing stages, Leao should have won it with a header after getting between Newcastle def...

Casemiro’s header opened the scoring midway through the first half. Marcus Rashford then doubled Man United's lead with a shot that took a deflection off Newcastle's Sven Botman. Eddie Howe knew he had to go for it at the start of the second half.  He introduced Alexander Isak up front alongside Callum Wilson. However, it ultimately had very little impact.
