Harvey Barnes scored in the 12th minute of second-half stoppage time as Newcastle overcame trailing thrice at home to Leeds United in a 4-3 win at St. James\u2019 Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
It was a chaotic game that saw Leeds lead thrice and both teams score from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n
WATCH \u2014 Newcastle v Leeds full match replay<\/a><\/p>\n USMNT winger Brenden Aaronson opened the scoring as part of his brace, and his handball on the edge of the 18 allowed Newcastle to score one of its two goals in second-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n Dominic Calvert-Lewin also scored for Leeds, converting a penalty in first half stoppage time to give Daniel Farke\u2019s men a 2-1 halftime lead. Leeds finish the game in 16th place with 22 points, eight more than 18th-place West Ham.<\/p>\n Bruno Guimaraes scored Newcastle\u2019s penalty and also set up a goal for Joelinton with a neat outside-of-the-boot cross. Newcastle rise into sixth place, two points outside the top four.<\/p>\n Newcastle finding table traction with soft spot in fixture list<\/p>\n The Magpies won a third-straight game out of a four-match stretch that demanded at least nine points. Eddie Howe won\u2019t love the lack of control his men showed in much of these 270 minutes, but he got his nine points and will be favored to make it 12-for-12 against Wolves on January 18 before Newcastle begins a more challenging run of Premier League fixtures. Yes, Newcastle let Burnley back into their eventual 3-1 win at Turf Moor on December. Yes, they needed ages to break down super-shorthanded Crystal Palace at the weekend in a 2-0 win. And finally, yes, they had to come back three times to beat a promoted Leeds United side \u2014 an admittedly in-form team \u2014 at home. Newcastle are set for a brutal month and needed every single point they could over the last two weeks. They got them. Now they need to sharpen their edges.<\/p>\n What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n Newcastle host Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Saturday, then welcome Man City to St. James\u2019 Park in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal on Tuesday. Their next Premier League game is January 18 at Wolves.<\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 FA Cup date is Sunday at Derby County, and they\u2019ll next host a Premier League match versus Fulham on January 17.<\/p>\n Newcastle vs Leeds final score: 4-3<\/p>\n Brenden Aaronson 32, 79’\u2019, Harvey Barnes 36′, 90+12′, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 45+5′, Joelinton 55′, Bruno Guimaraes 90+1′<\/p>\n Newcastle vs Leeds live updatesHarvey Barnes goal \u2014 Newcastle 4-3 Leeds<\/p>\n What a finish 12 minutes deep in stoppage time.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve done it!!<\/p>\n A huge throw finds Barnes, who spins and somehow pushes the ball through a sea of bodies, off the fingers of Perri, and over the line!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Barnes drills Newcastle ahead in 102nd minute<\/p>\n It’s an all-time classic at St. James’ Park as Harvey Barnes scores his second goal of the match to give Newcastle their first lead of the match at 4-3 over Leeds in the 102nd minute of the match.<\/p>\n Bruno Guimaraes penalty goal \u2014 Newcastle 3-3 Leeds<\/p>\n Guimaraes\u2019 stuttering run up is completed with a shot the other side of a diving Perri.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s 3-3 at the outset of 10 minutes\u2019 stoppage time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guimaraes’ penalty brings Newcastle level at 3-3<\/p>\n It’s game on at St. James’ Park as Brenden Aaronson’s handball results in a penalty, where Bruno Guimaraes fires Newcastle level late in the second half.<\/p>\n Newcastle penalty<\/p>\n Oh, no!
