1H - slow and jagged play punctuated by a Ramsdale double save and a strange sliding goal for Osula via cross from Louis Miley. 2H - Newcastle sat back and invited pressure as they typically do with a lead on the road in 25/26. A few chances to brace, including a gifted breakaway for Osula who couldn’t convert. Enter Mateta, add some feckless subs from Howe, add a 90+ penalty, and you have another meltdown that could be a final straw for this era of NUFC.
