Overview
- Harvey Barnes put Newcastle in front early after Sandro Tonali drove forward and Anthony Gordon cut the ball back for a close-range finish.
- Seconds after halftime, 17-year-old Darryl Bakola slid a pass in behind as Nick Pope rushed out, allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to round the keeper and level.
- Four minutes later, Timothy Weah beat Tino Livramento on the right and crossed for Aubameyang to steer in the winner at the near post.
- Eddie Howe’s switch to a back four and multiple substitutions did not alter the flow, with Dan Burn labeling the spell "10 minutes of madness."
- Marseille registered a second win in the league phase as Newcastle remained eighth with just one away victory since mid-April and an away trip to Everton next.
