Overview
- Harvey Barnes put Newcastle ahead in the first half after a Jacob Murphy move, but the visitors created little else on target.
- Brentford levelled through Kevin Schade from a Michael Kayode long throw, continuing the hosts’ set-piece threat highlighted by a run of throw‑in goals this year.
- Dango Ouattara was initially booked for simulation after contact from Dan Burn with VAR upholding the on‑field call, then later won a penalty when Burn fouled him again.
- Burn received a second yellow for the latter incident, and with Nick Pope injured and replaced by Aaron Ramsdale, Igor Thiago converted the penalty before adding a stoppage-time clincher.
- Newcastle’s away run without a Premier League win now stretches back to April, with supporters voicing criticism of Howe’s use of Burn at left-back and his in-game management.
