"On a night when it was announced that the man known on Tyneside simply as "King Kev" is undergoing treatment for cancer, the team for which he played and then managed twice laid on a madcap 90 minutes during which the visitors led three times. The excellent Brenden Aaronson twice and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, from the penalty spot, put Leeds ahead, but Barnes, Joelinton and Bruno Guimarães levelled to set up a grandstand finish in which Barnes won it front of a mesmerised crowd of 52,176."
"However, it was Daniel Farke's men who took the lead seconds later when, not for the first time, Thiaw was caught in possession by Calvert-Lewin and Aaronson took full advantage with a smart finish. Newcastle were back in it within four minutes, Barnes finishing from close range after Guimaraes, Gordon and Nick Woltemade had exchanged passes deftly inside the box to set him up."
Newcastle beat Leeds 4-3 in a seven-goal Premier League encounter, with Harvey Barnes scoring the decisive late goal in front of 52,176. Kevin Keegan is undergoing cancer treatment as his former club produced a frenetic 90 minutes. Brenden Aaronson scored twice and Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted a penalty to put Leeds ahead on three occasions, while Newcastle responded through Barnes, Joelinton and Bruno Guimarães to level each time. Early controversy saw Lucas Perri drop Malick Thiaw's header and Fabian Schär's follow-up ruled out for a foul. Multiple chances and quick turnarounds defined the high-tempo contest.
