Newcastle scored the latest Premier League winner on record.
Harvey Barnes scored a 102nd-minute winner as Newcastle United came from behind three times to beat Leeds United 4-3 in a Premier League classic at St James’ Park.
In-form Leeds contributed hugely to a remarkable spectacle on Tyneside and looked as if they would take all three points when Brendon Aaronson’s second goal gave them a 3-2 lead in the 79th minute.
Aaronson had earlier opened the scoring to punish a sloppy a Newcastle start, with a hugely contentious Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty restoring their advantage on the stroke of half-time after Barnes had swiftly equalised. Joelinton’s deft header made it 2-2 nine minutes into the second half.
Yet Aaronson contributed to Leeds’ downfall, with his handball allowing Bruno Guimaraes to level things up for a third time from the penalty spot in the 91st minute.
That might have been the last act in most games, but injuries during the 10 minutes of stoppage time provided ample time for either side to find a winner.
It was Newcastle who did so, with Barnes taking advantage by firing in on the turn after Leeds failed to deal with a last-ditch ball into the box from Guimaraes, his goal the latest winner on record in the Premier League.
Newcastle move up to sixth in the table, with the Magpies just two points outside the top four.
