Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at St James' Park!
- 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Newcastle United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

- 31' Enda Stevens has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 31.
- 36' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 41' 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 Ben Osborn suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' The whistle greets Joelinton as he departs to be replaced by Dwight Gayle.
- 49' Magnificent from Joe Willock! That is 29 goals in 414 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

- 72' Sean Longstaff gets the nod from Newcastle United FC. He replaces Allan Saint-Maximin and will look to change the dynamic.
- 77' 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.
- 82' With 0 assists to his name this season, David McGoldrick is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sheffield United FC.
- 85' The crowd applauds Joe Willock as he leaves the pitch. Andy Carroll steps in for Newcastle United FC.
- 90' The travelling Sheffield United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
