Newcastle 2
Manchester City 1
Match action is
online here
Newcastle's stuttering Premier League season burst
into life at Gallowgate on Saturday night, thanks to a pair of
timely second half strikes from Harvey Barnes.
The United winger had twice gone close to putting his side ahead
before the break, but made no mistake when a third, more difficult
chance came his way in the 63rd minute - sending a scorching shot
past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
That lead was to be short-lived however; Ruben Dias firing through
the legs of Fabian Schar following a corner at the Leazes End to
draw City level within just five minutes.
Eight minutes after his opener though, Barnes was reaching into his
invisible quiver once again in celebration of another goal, this one
from rather closer range after a header by Bruno Guimaraes rebounded
off the crossbar.
The scorer and home fans endured a five minute wait until VAR
dismissed claims for offside, leaving City to moan in vain about
an alleged foul by Nick Woltemade as Jacob Murphy centred from the
right. Donnarumma meanwhile claimed that he was impeded from the
corner that began the sequence.
Barnes became the first Magpie to net more than once in a
game against City since Alan Shearer's brace in a 3-0 PL home win
exactly 22
years to the day, back in 2003.
Much of the build-up to this game dwelt on the fact that City's Erling Haaland was on 99 Premier League goals, but it was Eddie Howe
who ended the day as a centurion - celebrating a 100th league and
cup victory shortly after beginning his fifth year in charge of the
Magpies.
Persisting with the same front six that had started the 1-3 loss at
Brentford before the international break, Howe also retained Nick
Pope but was able to call upon Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento at
left and right back respectively.
Without Dan Burn due to suspension, Fabian Schar was preferred to
Sven Botman alongside Malick Thiaw, the Dutchman coming off the
bench to join them late on after Hall's withdrawal - Jacob Murphy
dropping back.
Having spoken about trying to achieve a reset of his team's season
during the last international break and sat through hours of game
footage in an attempt to do so, the Magpies boss drew a heartening
response from his players that was in stark contrast to the dross of
West Ham and Brentford.
That almost got off to an incredible start when Barnes forced
Donnarumma into action after just 25 seconds - Woltemade seeing a
shot and a header saved before Barnes blazed wide with the goal
gaping on the half hour.
At the other end Haaland put City's first chance wide, Phil Foden
also twice failing to test Pope with the United goal at his mercy -
one of those off-target shots followed by a failed VAR check for a
penalty after Schar caught him on the ankle.
While Barnes understandably took the plaudits for his goals, Sandro Tonali was back
to his best and Thiaw expertly handled the threat of Haaland on a
day when the entire team looked boosted by the return of the full
back duo.
The two most pleasing displays of the season before this had ended in narrow
home losses to Liverpool and Arsenal, but tonight was
arguably Newcastle's most significant win since the Carabao Cup
Final last March - ending a six year, 12 game wait for maximum
points against Pep's lot.

Eddie Howe said:
"It's been a long wait for a
win against Pep (Guardiola).
He's an incredible manager. We're just delighted to win tonight.
"The heart, the endeavour, the
attitude of the group pleased me today. Compared to the game against
Brentford, where we looked tired, that was a big upturn.
"Very very pleased - it should
give us a big lift in a tough Premier League season.
"The challenge now is to keep it up. We have two huge games against
Marseille and Everton now. We need to have the identity we played
with today."
On Harvey Barnes:
"I think Harvey is an
outstanding player. He's always a goal threat. He could have scored
four today with the chances he had, but what I love about Harvey is
he's never rattled by missing."
On his match-winning tactics:
"My opinion is whatever strategy
you pick, City will make chances. We tried to pick the style that
would suit us best.
Our centre-halves did so well
against (Erling) Haaland today - we're really pleased with our
output."
On the midfield:
"He's a brilliant player
(Bruno Guimaraes). I have the
pleasure of working with him, and he's a brilliant leader. Today he
was at the heartbeat of everything good.
"I thought Joelinton had his
best game for a long time, and Sandro (Tonali) did well
playing slightly higher up."
Stats:
The Magpies won in the Premier League against Manchester City for the
first time in 13 attempts since Rafa Benitez presided over a
2-1 success at SJP in January 2019.
Only Fabian Schar appeared in both the 2019 and 2025 wins for United,
while Jacob Murphy watched from the bench as Salomon Rondon and Matt
Ritchie netted six years ago.
Newcastle registered their sixth successive home win in
all competitions, something Eddie Howe had overseen just once as
Magpies boss, between February and April 2022.
Harvey Barnes scored his 17th Premier League goal for
Newcastle, drawing level with Yohan Cabaye in the club's all-time
scoring list for that competition. The Leicester old boy now has
20 goals in all competitions for United.
Barnes has three PL strikes and three Champions League goals so far
this season, that total of six drawing him level with Nick
Woltemade as our top scorer.
Lewis Hall made his 50th PL appearance for United.
Ruben Dias netted his fourth PL goal for City and his first since
December 2021, which also came at SJP.

U18s:
Reds ahead
Newcastle U18s 1
Liverpool U18s 2
With neither side able to progress,
Newcastle U18s lost their final Premier League Cup group stage game
to Liverpool at Little Benton on Saturday morning.
Pointless after their opening two ties, the Reds went ahead in the
24th minute when Joshua Sonni Lambie was gifted possession outside
the United box and set up Joshua Abe, who made no mistake with a
strong finish.
Liverpool doubled their lead on 28 minutes when Lambie challenged
goalkeeper George Mair on the edge of the Newcastle area - a
fortunate deflection giving him the opportunity to find the empty
net with a precise shot.
Half time arrived with the hosts lucky not to be further behind and
although dominating the early stages of the second period, it was
the visitors who came closest to scoring again - Lambie hitting a
post on the hour.
The black and whites belatedly gained a foothold in the contest with
20 minutes remaining after a free kick was nodded back across goal
for Thomas Old to fire in.
That was the end of the scoring however, despite the Reds losing Abe
to injury in the final seconds of normal time with all of their
substitutes used.
Hadyn Murray-Holme's second booking of the contest then reduced
Liverpool to nine men after 90 seconds of what ended up as eight
additional minutes - resulting in some elongated possession for
United but little in the way of dangerous crosses or accurate goal
efforts.
Team: Mair, Johnson, Goodbrand (Bloomer 81), Moran (Durrant
78), Old, M.Miley (O'Donovan 78), Pinnington, Lucas, Wooster (E.Ndiweni
64), M.Taylor, Ferreira.
Sub n/u: Holland.
Booked: Goodbrand, Bloomer, Durrant
PS: The U18s were handed a home tie against Portsmouth in the Third Round
of this season's FA Youth Cup,
Date, time and venue confirmation is awaited, with ties to be played
on or before Saturday December 13th.

U21s:
Young Parisians prosper
Newcastle U21s 0 PSG U21s 2
Following a 0-0 home draw with Real Sociedad on
Tuesday night, United's second
U21 Premier League
International Cup tie brought PSG to
Whitley Park on Friday night.
Clad in their blue and orange change kit, the Magpies reached half
time two goals behind and one man down - Scott Bailey shown a
straight red in the 43rd minute.
PSG's 27th minute opener came when Khalil Ayari netted with a rising
shot from a narrow angle to the right of the goal, but United failed
to heed the warning and conceded again just three minutes later.
This time Mohamed-Amine El Idrissi ghosted through the home defence and wrong-footed Max
Thompson before steering a low shot home.
Bailey then looked to be harshly censured for a high challenge, catching
Diyinu Nzinga on the back of the leg with his studs in the centre of
the field.
Ironically the visiting player didn't make a meal of that challenge,
in stark contrast to some of his colleagues who continually threw
themselves to the ground under the most minimal of contact.
Referee Zac Kennard-Kettle finally tired of this French farce,
booking Ilyes Housni for a theatrical tumble in the box.
Despite being a man down in the second period the hosts put up a
decent fight, creating chances to reduce the deficit but failing to
test PSG custodian Arthur Vignaud.
Miodrag
Pivas looped a header following a free-kick narrowly wide before
fellow defender Charlie McArthur similarly put a headed effort
off-target from Leo Shahar's corner kick.
Team: M.Thompson, C.Thompson (Shahar 70), McArthur, Heffernan, Pivas
(Bryant 83),
Bailey, Parkinson, Munda, Brayson (Alabi 46), Al.Harrison, Seung-soo
(Wooster 78).
Subs n/u:
Taylor, Charlton, Palmer.
Sent-off: Bailey 43.
The absence of Sean Neave and Alex Murphy was due to senior team
call-ups to the bench for the PL home game against Manchester City
the following night.
PSG: Vignaud, Coulibaly, El Idrissi (Mhand 76), Lucea, Lavenette, Diyinu
Nzinga, Doue (Cordier 83), El Nay (Housni 65), Ayari, Nsoki, Jangeal
(Bastaraud 76).
Sub n/u: Francillonne.
Booked: Jangeal, Housni.
Crowd: 183 including Yohan Cabaye, present in his role as
part of the PSG backroom staff.

Update:
Russell Cushing RIP
Former Newcastle United official Russell Cushing has died
unexpectedly following a short illness. He was 78.
Norwich-born, Russell joined the Magpies in 1971 from the Canaries,
initially as Assistant Secretary before succeeding Malcolm Hoole as
Club Secretary two years later.
Cushing acted as United's General
Manager for many years, overseeing player contracts and transfers
ranging from Malcolm Macdonald's departure to Arsenal through to the
later arrivals of Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer.
Other commitments included fixture arrangement, attending
disciplinary tribunals, involvement in commercial activities and
ticket sales - tasks later covered by an ever-increasing head count,
but all passing across his desk at the time.
That range of activities saw Russell act as a spokesman for United
on subjects ranging from wrangles over the ground lease with the
City Council to reconstruction in the wake of the Taylor Report. Any
incidents of hooliganism were also routinely following by statements
penned by him in the following match programme.
Appointed to the board in late 1989 ahead of Sir John Hall's arrival
at Gallowgate the following year, he served as Chief Operating
Officer from June 2001.
Russell ended an association with the Magpies spanning almost 36
years during 2007, in the months following the completion of Mike
Ashley's takeover.
Champions League:
Marseille (a)
Game number five for Eddie Howe's side in this season's Champions
League first phase campaign takes them to Southern France on Tuesday.
It's an 8pm GMT kick-off - 9pm local time in France.
Newcastle were allocated 3,000 tickets.
Updated fan information is online
here
Away tickets are in digital format but all fans
are required to assemble at a designated meeting point at 4.30pm
French time to be put onto Metros for the stadium - four and a half
hours before kick-off, at 9pm French time.
That meeting point is Place de la Joliette (pictured), a square
situated to the north of the old port area.
NUFC stress that any fans who fail to comply with that mandatory
advice and attempt to travel to the stadium independently will be
denied access (except for disabled fans, who have separate
arrangements).
NB: stadium regulations state that small power packs for mobiles can
be taken in - something that's worth noting, given that digital
ticketing will be in use.
The post-match plan is the same in reverse, with fans returned to
the Place de la Joliette by metro following a hold-back of
unspecified duration.
Agreement with these measures looks to have been a condition of
receiving an away allocation, Atalanta fans treated similarly in
OM's last home CL tie. Ajax meanwhile didn't receive any tickets
after the French authorities imposed a blanket travel ban on their
supporters.

Suffering 2-1 defeats at Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon, Marseille
lost 0-1 at home to Atalanta last time out.
Marseille returned to action following the international break with
a 5-1 win at Nice in Ligue 1 on Friday - a result that took them

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.
2025/26 CL away tickets are 50 or less.

On This Day in History |
|
23rd November |
|
Born Or Died:
1909 Tom Russell
born, Cowdenbeath, Scotland. (1934-37)
 Not the rather fine American musician of the same name, but a
left back signed
by Glasgow Rangers from his hometown club in 1933 at a cost of £1,000.
Making the switch from Ibrox to St.James' in August 1934 for £650, Tom debuted
in a 3-1 win at Plymouth Argyle the following month.
Unable to unseat first choice Dave Fairhurst, Russell made only occasional
appearances in the Magpies first XI and moved on to Horden Colliery
Welfare in May 1937.
Returning to his native Cowdenbeath, Tom joined the staff at Central Park
in 1949 and served as club secretary from 1961 until his death in
February 1975.
1924 Death of Charlie Watts, 52. Reported
as having taken his own life. (1896-1906)
Again, that's the footballer as opposed to the languid drummer of the
Rolling Stones - who of course also played at SJP....
1966 Kevin William Gallacher born, Clydebank, Scotland. (1999-2001)
Like his namesakes Keegan and
Sheedy, Gallacher moved to SJP late in his career but gave us good service and
would have been an ever better acquisition in his prime.
Beginning his career at Duntocher Boys Club, he signed for Dundee United
before moved on to Coventry City in 1990 and Blackburn Rovers five years
later.
Kevin was Bobby Robson's first signing as Newcastle boss as he looked
beyond Silvio Maric, Paul Robinson, Temuri Ketsbaia and the perma-crocked Duncan Ferguson to find
some support for Alan Shearer.
A popular figure at Gallowgate despite taking thirteen appearances to break
his scoring duck, Gallacher's final appearance for us came in the season
closer at home to Villa in May 2001, his 78th minute substitution being
accompanied by rapturous applause. The
following season saw him at Preston, with later stints at Sheffield Wednesday
and Huddersfield Town before retirement at the age of 35.
Later becoming involved in media work, Gallacher won 53 senior caps and scored nine times
for his country.
That experience saw him go into print with a book entitled "Tartan
Turmoil – the fall & rise of Scottish football” - a step up from
the usual ghost written ex-player twaddle to be found in remainder bookshops.
2014 found him taking on a director of football role at non-league
side AFC Darwen.

What Else?
|
1895 Rendel (h)
5-0
(4-0)
FA Cup Qualifier
Aitken(1-0pen,5-0),
Thompson(2-0), Logan(3-0), Wardrope(4-0)
3,000
Newcastle progressed in the FA Cup at the expense of
their neighbours from Benwell, scoring four first half
goals when playing down the notorious SJP slope.
1901 Liverpool (h)
1-0 (0-0)
Division One
McColl(65)
20,000
Managed by Tynesider Tom Watson, reigning champions
Liverpool made a sixth fruitless attempt at breaking
their winless sequence at Gallowgate.
The visitors ended the game a man short, Charlie
Satterthwaite going shoulder to shoulder with Alex Caie
and the Liverpool man coming off second best, hitting
his head on an advertising board behind the goal.
"he was at once picked up and removed unconscious"
reported one correspondent, but thankfully was said
post-match to be "suffering from slight concussion of
the brain" and "progressing favourably."
1907 Birmingham (h)
8-0 (2-0)
Division One
Howie(4,35),
Veitch(53,62), Appleyard(60),
Rutherford(63,80,82)
16,000
A Birmingham side depleted by injury were duly
dispatched by Newcastle - who wouldn't win another top flight
game by the same margin until 1999, when Bobby Robson's
first home match saw Sheffield Wednesday similarly
routed.
1910 Norwich City (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Friendly
Shepherd(22,50,51)
5,944
Having drawn 1-1 in Norfolk two months earlier, both
sides agreed to replay this Hospital Cup fundraiser at
Gallowgate - the second game taking place on a Wednesday
afternoon.
A frozen pitch was far more to United's liking and Albert
Shepherd netted a hat-trick.
Gate receipts of £176 were to be divided between
charities in Newcastle and Norwich.
Team:
Lawrence, McCracken, Whitson, Veitch, Low, McWilliam,
Rutherford, Higgins, Shepherd, Wilson, Anderson.
1912 Tottenham Hotspur
(a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
Cantrell(20)
26,000
Debutant James Fleming obviously impressed the victors
of this match, who paid £300 for his services within six
months.
1929 Portsmouth (h)
4-1 (1-0)
Division One
Gallacher(13,49,72,88)
Easson(52)
15,000
The visitors were
managed by ex-South Shields boss Jack Tinn and
prepared for the game by staying in Cullercoats.
Pompey had won both their previous visits to Gallowgate,
but Hughie Gallacher was in the mood and after opening the
scoring was twice foiled before half time by noteworthy
saves from goalkeeper Jock Gilfillan.
The striker wasn't to be denied though and struck three
times after the interval, Tinn later commenting that
Gallacher was "the greatest forward I have
seen".
1934 Reserve watchers who turned up at
Gallowgate for the visit of Wolves during United's
inaugural Central League campaign were rewarded with a
10-3 victory.
The Magpies were 5-1 ahead at half time, with Billy Cairns
and Joe Wilson both claiming hat tricks and braces for
Tommy Pearson and William Gallantree.
 1935
Sheffield United (a) 1-5 (0-1)
Division Two
Livingstone(88)
Dodds(43,79,85),
Pickering(65), Barton(76)
14,789
Newcastle handed a debut to forward Archie Livingstone,
who got on the scoresheet at Bramall Lane.
Sadly though little else went right for the visitors, who
had lost on the same ground by the same score in a
top-flight game almost exactly a year before.
Magpies boss Tom Mather missed the game order to attend
the St.Bernards versus Falkirk fixture in Edinburgh.
1940 York City (a)
0-3 (0-3)
Wartime
Lee 2, Robinson(pen)
2,000
A decisive defeat
at Bootham Crescent, although visiting centre forward
Albert Stubbins twice headed against the crossbar.
 1946
Bury (h)
1-1 (0-1)
Division Two
Bentley(1-1)
Quigley(0-1)
49,656
In-form Charlie Wayman
had scored six times in two games, but was successfully shackled
by the Shakers.
 1957 Manchester United (h)
1-2 (1-0)
Division One
R.Mitchell(28)
Edwards(85), T.Taylor(88)
53,950
Goals from Duncan Edwards and Tommy Taylor won it for
Matt Busby's side - who included former Magpie Ray Wood
and future signing Albert Scanlon.
Less than three months later though, both Edwards and
Taylor were victims of the Munich Air Disaster, along with
another four of those players on duty at SJP: Roger Byrne,
Eddie Colman, Liam Whelan and David Pegg.
 1963 Manchester City (h)
3-1 (1-0)
Division Two
Thomas(5,56), Penman(75)
Gray(77)
22,557
It was raining cats and dogs to such
an extent that unfounded rumours circulated that
a waterlogged Gallowgate pitch had caused a postponement.
A pitch invader of the canine variety appeared
during the first half and wandered around for a good
ten minutes until the game was halted and a police
officer intervened.
There was a minute's silence for President
Kennedy, following his assassination in Dallas. |
 1968
Wolverhampton Wanderers (a)
0-5 (0-2)
Division One
Knowles(13,52), Wignall(44),
Dougan(48,76)
25,425
After the midweek high of advancing in the Fairs Cup
thanks to a home win over Sporting Lisbon, United came
back down to earth with a bang at Molineux.
 1974
Burnley (a)
1-4 (0-1)
Division One
Barrowclough(89)
James(8pen),
Noble(49,82,84)
19,523
Revenge for The Clarets after Newcastle's FA Cup semi-final
win earlier in the year.
Ex-Magpie Peter Noble led the way with a second half
hat trick of headers. Completing a miserable day for
United, John Tudor needed a dozen stitches in a head
wound after the team bus was bricked.
 1982
Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine) (h)
2-1 (0-1)
Friendly
Waddle(52), Varadi(77)
Khlus(30)
12,572
An enjoyable night against what we are obliged to call
"crack" Eastern European opposition.
Striker Victor Khlus gave the visitors the lead only for a
Magpies side without the injured Kevin Keegan to level
through Chris Waddle.
Imre Varadi then won it for United.
Kiev went on to beat Hearts and Hull on the UK tour and
returned to SJP the following Saturday to watch us defeat
Cambridge 2-0.
Little did they (or we) know that we'd be entertaining
them twice in competitive games within the next twenty
years....
Team: Carr,
Anderson, Saunders, Hedworth, Clarke, Wharton, Gayle (Varadi
57), McCreery (sub tbc), Waddle, McDermott, Ferris.
 1983
The Daily Express indoor 5-a-side
tournament at Wembley Arena was the usual miserable
experience for United,
who were beaten 1-2 by Fulham in the First Round.
Paul Ferris was on target for the Magpies, who lined up
as follows for the 15 minute game.
Team: Carr,
Haddock, Trewick, Ferris, Mills.
"The Journal"
noted that United seemed unfamiliar with the competition
rules and were repeatedly penalised for breaking the
head height rule by playing high balls forward....
 1985
Manchester City (a) 0-1 (0-1)
Division One
P18, 26pts, 11th/22
Lillis(31)
25,179
A first half effort from Mark Lillis
ultimately divided the sides but United left Maine Road
unhappy with two bad challenges from Kenny Clements of
City.
The defender was booked for a lunge on David McCreery
but avoided censure for a scything tackle on Paul
Gascoigne that saw the young Magpie substituted at half
time.
 1991
Blackburn Rovers (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
23,639
The chief attractions of this game were the moaning
and cheating antics of David Speedie which angered home
fans and the appearance of former hero Kevin Keegan to
launch United's official history book.
After the match ended, occupants of the Milburn Stand
boxes and bars included the film crew of the BBC drama "Spender",
who were waiting for the ground to empty before filming a
number of scenes.

1994 Newcastle
gave a short trial to Sam Hyypia, a 20 year old Finnish
central defender. He would go on to join Liverpool and be
linked with moves to SJP on various occasions.
 1996
Chelsea (a)
1-1 (1-1)
Premier League
P14, 29pts, 1st/20
Shearer(41)
Vialli(24)
(Batty
51)
28,401
Alan Shearer marked his return from injury with a
clever goal after his first effort was saved.
That cancelled out Gianluca Vialli's opener when he beat
Pavel Srnicek by helping on a free kick with the slightest
of headers.
United played most of the second half with ten men
following the dismissal of David Batty for apparently
elbowing Mark Hughes.

 1998

0-1 (0-1)
Premiership
P14, 16pts, 14th/20

A Monday evening game live on Sky saw Carl Serrant
foul Don Hutchison to give away a first-half penalty that
Michael Ball duly converted.
However, the real action took place off the pitch,
where suspended Toffees striker Duncan Ferguson was in the
process of joining Newcastle at a cost of £7m.
In retrospect Everton were far keener on the move than the
player, whose clearly upset father broke the news to
astonished post- match drinkers in a pub near Goodison.

Newcastle's Reserve side held their Manchester United
counterparts until half-time at Gigg Lane.
However, four second half goals meant Tommy Craig's side
left Bury on the end of a 0-4 hiding.

Steven
Taylor chose the perfect time to score his first senior
goal for Newcastle, his late header keeping up our 100%
UEFA Group record and ensuring qualification for the next
round.
It was a tale of two
headers for Glenn Roeder's side, as Antoine Sibierski
scored his third European goal to get us back on terms
after the Spaniards had taken an early lead.

returned to the top of the Championship thanks to another
vital strike from Kevin Nolan in a hard-fought Monday
night victory at Deepdale that was televised live by Sky
Sports.
The former Bolton man swivelled to hit a left-footed
shot beyond Andy Lonergan for his ninth goal of the
season, giving United the three points they needed to
regain pole position from West Bromwich Albion.

Chris Hughton's second return to
his former home saw him leave empty handed again - but his Canaries side
ensured an uncomfortable final ten minutes
after threatening to snatch a late draw.
Loan striker Loic Remy made it eight goals in ten league appearances when Yohan Cabaye's corner kick sat up
nicely for him to head home at the Gallowgate End - our
first flag kick conversion in over two years.

A 0-0 stalemate against
West Bromwich Albion reserves at Whitley Park included
90 minutes for Yoan Gouffran in central midfield.
That was to prepare him for a possible outing at Crystal
Palace the following Saturday in the absence of Cheick
Tiote and Jack Colback.
In the event, Colback passed a fitness test and played
as United lost 1-5.
