"Neither side created too many opportunities in the first 45 minutes, but the Magpies still went in front from their first real attack, as Nick Woltemade found Harvey Barnes, who jinked past a few Brentford challenges and finished strongly. The home side were much-improved after the break and went close to scoring inside the first minute after the restart, as Nick Pope was required to make a strong save to deny Yehor Yarmolyuk's low effort."
"They would find the equaliser in the 56th minute as the Magpies failed to properly deal with a long throw from Michael Kayode, leading to Kevin Schade directing a header home. Brentford continued to apply pressure and were awarded a penalty as Dango Ouattara went down in the area after being fouled by Dan Burn, with the England international receiving a second yellow card for the challenge."
Brentford rallied in the second half to defeat 10-man Newcastle United 3-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium after falling behind to Harvey Barnes' first-half strike. The Bees intensified after the break, drawing level in the 56th minute when a long throw from Michael Kayode caused confusion and Kevin Schade headed home. Dango Ouattara won a penalty after Dan Burn's foul, which produced Burn's second yellow and allowed Igor Thiago to convert; Thiago scored again in injury time after a Malick Thiaw deflection. Newcastle had only one shot on target and sit two points above the relegation zone, while Brentford sit 12th with strong home form and the joint-most throw-in goals.
