Newcastle suffered a home Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund at St James’ Park, in a result that blew Group F wide open sports
After an exhilarating opening spell where Anthony Gordon forced visiting goalkeeper Gregor Kobel into two saves, Dortmund took a deserved lead when Felix Nmecha guided a precise finish into the corner on the counter-attack sports
Newcastle struggled to create chances after half-time, with Callum Wilson wasting the best of them with a shot that was straight at goalkeeper Kobel sports
Wilson then struck the bar with a late header before Gordon’s deflected effort also hit the bar in stoppage time - but Eddie Howe’s side were unable to find an equaliser sports

There was nothing he could do about Nmecha’s first-time finish into the corner, however sports
Keiran Trippier, 4Newcastle missed his influence and the right-back’s delivery, both from set-pieces and open play, was below its usual level sports
Jamaal Lascelles, 5The stand-in defender was immense against PSG but struggled more tonight, in what was a reality check for Newcastle on the whole sports
Fabian Schar, 7The centre-back needed to be perfect when committing to a couple of sliding challenges but was faultless throughout against a dangerous Dortmund attack sports
Dan Burn, 4The full-back had a busy night up against the terrific Malen and Marco Reus and did not look comfortable with the pace of the German side sports
Sean Longstaff, 4Not his night - lacked his usual sharpness in possession as Newcastle struggled to match Dortmund’s busy midfield sports
Replaced by Sandro Tonali shortly after the hour sports
Bruno Guimaraes, 4Tried his best to get Newcastle going but struggled to produce his usual quality from deep positions sports
Passes had to be played to perfection on such a quick pitch, while the Brazilian was otherwise sloppy sports
Joelinton, 5Helped drive Newcastle forward from midfield and picked up possession in threatening positions but struggled defensively with the numbers that Dortmund were committing to attack - Nmecha’s opener exposed that he was missing from the edge of the box after the German side launched a swift counter sports
Miguel Almiron, 7Sparked the match into life with his first touches coming off the right wing and was involved in nearly all of Newcastle’s threatening moments sports
The accuracy of the final ball eluded him, however, but he was not the only one sports
Alexander Isak, N/AThe tall and rangy striker looked perfect for an open contest and led Newcastle well from the front in the opening exchanges, however his night came to an early end and he was replaced by Callum Wilson midway through the first half sports
Newcastle lacked a spark from there sports
Anthony Gordon, 8The winger played with the energy he helped whip up at St James’ Park - this was another lively performance and he was Newcastle’s best player on the night sports
Still, Gordon should have done sports better after being played in by Isak, in the second of two chances that brought a save from Kobel sports
There remains a question over his end product sports
