Newcastle United staged a late comeback in their 4-3 thriller against Leeds, but it wasn't enough to snatch a draw or even a point as Harvey Barnes scored a dramatic winner in the 102nd minute.
The match was an emotionally charged affair, with Kevin Keegan's name being chanted before kick-off in support of the former Newcastle boss who is battling cancer. However, it was Leeds who started brightly and took their lead just before half-time, thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's penalty after Pascal Struijk had headed a free-kick over the crossbar.
The home side then began to find their rhythm, with Lewis Miley heading a Bruno Guimarães corner over the bar and Sandro Tonali seeing his shot deflect wide. However, it was Leeds who continued to look dominant and took their lead back through Malick Thiaw's handball, with Calvert-Lewin making no mistake from the penalty spot.
Newcastle finally got on the scoresheet just before half-time when Joelinton headed in a cross from Bruno Guimarães after Miley had performed some impressive ball control. The home side then leveled it up again through Brenden Aaronson's stunning second goal, but Leeds took the lead for the third time with another penalty from Fabian Schär and his own handball being awarded.
Just when it seemed like the match was going to end in a stalemate, Harvey Barnes popped up with a late winner to snatch victory for Newcastle. The England international scored in the 102nd minute, after Aaronson had been deemed to have handled Lewis Hall's cross, giving Newcastle a dramatic three points and ending Leeds' seven-match unbeaten run.
The match was an intense and thrilling affair, with both teams creating plenty of chances throughout. While Newcastle ultimately came out on top, it was Leeds who looked the more dominant side for large periods of the match, but they were unable to capitalise on their superiority.

! I mean I'm not surprised that Harvey Barnes popped up with a winner at the end, he's been on fire lately 
️! Leeds were clearly the better side for most of it though, they looked like they could've easily won 3-0 by half-time 
. But Newcastle just wouldn't give up and you've got to give them credit for that comeback. That Kevin Keegan chant before kick-off was really sweet too 
. Anyway, can't wait for the next Newcastle game! 
that final 10 minutes was absolute chaos 
! I mean, Leeds were dominating so much of the game and looked like they'd get a point out of it, but Newcastle just refused to give up 
. And what a story with Kevin Keegan's name being chanted before kick-off, really added an extra layer of emotion to the match 
but harvey barnes came out of nowhere and scored that winner in the 102nd minute 
they played so much better when the game was on the line, like they were all motivated by something 
! 102 minutes in? that's insane 
. anyways, Newcastle's defense has got to be on fire for them to pull off games like this 
can't a team just play some normal football for once? and why did Fabian Schär have to be involved in another own goal? that's just crazy talk 
anyway, nice comeback by Newcastle after being down 3-0 at one point. Harvey Barnes is a legend man
