Brentford vs Newcastle final score, result (Premier League): Magpies still flying

Brentford vs Newcastle Highlights

Newcastle United were determined to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time since the 2002-03 season. However, they were aware that they would face a tough challenge from Brentford, who had one of the best home records in the Premier League this season. The Bees' captain, Pontus Jansson, played a significant role early on, with his header cleared off the line by Nick Pope. Ivan Toney scored from close range, but the goal was disallowed for offside after a lengthy VAR check.

Jansson's headed effort went just over the crossbar, but he had to be substituted due to injury. Nonetheless, Brentford was awarded a penalty when Kevin Schade was brought down by Sven Botman. Toney, who has been described as the best penalty taker in the world, missed the first attempt as Pope saved it. However, he was given a second chance when Alexander Isak fouled Rico Henry, and he scored to give Brentford a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Eddie Howe demanded a better performance from his team in the second half, and he got exactly that. Joelinton equalized for Newcastle with a shot that went in off David Raya, before Callum Wilson, who came on as a substitute at halftime, passed the ball back to Isak, whose first-time shot flew into the top right corner, completing the comeback.

Wilson had a goal disallowed for handball, but it did not matter as Newcastle held on to secure another three points, keeping them in third place, while Brentford remained in ninth.
