It felt like a match that neither team particularly wanted to play, as a patched-up Reds side took to the field against a beleaguered Newcastle team. Having said that, there were moments of interest, with Nick Pope denying Igor Jesus and Will Osula hitting the bar before Bruno Guimarães fired wide, then forced Matz Sels into an uncomfortable save before Morato completed the job.
In the end, the two goalscorers felt inevitable. Harvey Barnes always scores against us, and after a simple through ball he outpaced Morato before a good finish on 74 mins. However Vítor's Reds regrouped and Elliot Anderson scored against his hometown club after a smart one-two with McAtee and sheer force of will. Baz and Katie report.
