Overview
- Harvey Barnes put Newcastle ahead early, but Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang struck at 46' and 49'—set up by 17‑year‑old Darryl Bakola and a Timothy Weah cross—to seal a 2-1 win at the Vélodrome.
- Gerónimo Rulli made key stops as Marseille, previously 25th, climbed to 19th in the league‑phase table on six points; next up is Union Saint‑Gilloise on December 9.
- Roberto De Zerbi’s bold start for Bakola paid off, while Eddie Howe lamented missed chances and a poor reaction after the equaliser; Newcastle dropped to 8th after five games.
- PSG host Tottenham on Wednesday without Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé remains uncertain, as Luis Enrique backs depth and youth to maintain scoring output.
- Paris FC’s domestic slide continued in a 4-2 loss to Lille, with one win in six, a bottom‑tier defensive record, and new injuries to Pierre Lees‑Melou and Samir Chergui with timelines still unclear.
