"Eddie Howe struggled to put Newcastle United's thrilling 4-3 victory over Leeds United into words after seeing his side come from behind three times to prevail at St James' Park. It was an emotional night on Tyneside following the news that beloved former manager Kevin Keegan has been diagnosed with cancer. Fans sang his name throughout the game, which proved to be the kind of topsy turvy encounter Keegan's 'Entertainers' frequently produced in the 1990s, with attacking quality high and defensive solidity at a premium."
"Brenden Aaronson looked to have given Leeds all three points when he fired his second goal of the game in off the post in the 79th minute. He had earlier put Leeds ahead in the first half, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin's contentious penalty in first-half stoppage time restoring that advantage following Harvey Barnes' equaliser. Joelinton drew Newcastle level again in the 55th minute with a fine header."

The match carried strong emotion after confirmation that former manager Kevin Keegan has been diagnosed with cancer, prompting fans to sing his name. Leeds took the lead through Brenden Aaronson and a Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty, while Joelinton and Barnes equalised for Newcastle. A handled cross gave Bruno Guimaraes a 91st-minute penalty to level before Barnes converted the late winner. Eddie Howe praised the squad's mentality despite imperfections.
