Watch the Newcastle 3 Brentford 3 match highlights below.
See all six goals in an eventful match that threw up plenty of talking points.
Including how on earth Karl Darlow let in that equaliser…
Starting brightly, Newcastle United took the lead against Brentford only ten minutes in through Jamaal Lascelles, Callum Wilson having already flashed a header just wide of the target.
However, as you can see in these highlights below, Newcastle scoring three very decent goals in total, only to concede three really poor ones.
Dubravka has to come in for Darlow but pretty much the entire defence couldn’t complain if replaced on Saturday.
Now we face Arsenal on Saturday and hope to see the NUFC goals keep flowing BUT major improvement needed on the defensive front…
