Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to St James' Park that hosts another battle between Newcastle United FC and Brentford FC.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Newcastle United FC and Brentford FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 20' It looks surprising Newcastle United FC does not make any changes. Nick Pope has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Brentford FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' The 20-year-old Lewis Miley has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Newcastle United FC and Brentford FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Harvey Barnes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' Assisted by Jacob Murphy with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alexander Isak makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Edmond-Paris Maghoma made 344 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 58' Keane Lewis-Potter is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Newcastle United FC tonight.
  • 59' The Brentford FC manager makes a substitution. Vitaly Janelt departs to be replaced by Mikkel Damsgaard.
  • 64' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 66' What a moment for Bryan Mbeumo! That strike on 66 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 67' The Newcastle United FC manager makes a substitution. Alexander Isak departs to be replaced by Callum Wilson.
  • 70' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Fabian Schar on 70 minutes.
  • 72' Keane Lewis-Potter picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 74' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sandro Tonali makes it 2-1.
  • 79' It is a cagey affair so far. Newcastle United FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Brentford FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 83' Brentford FC make a change. Ethan Pinnock trudges off to be replaced by Kristoffer Ajer on 83 minutes.
  • 88' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 89' Another substitution for Newcastle United FC to replace Kieran Trippier by Emil Krafth on 89 minute.
  • 90' Lewis Miley gets the nod from Newcastle United FC. He replaces Harvey Barnes and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
