Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice in five second-half minutes as Marseille came from behind to beat Newcastle United 2-1 in the Champions League. The defeat dented Newcastle's hopes of progressing from the group stage.
Harvey Barnes had given the visitors an early lead, scoring in the sixth minute after being set up by Anthony Gordon. It was Barnes' third goal in four days, following his double against Manchester City. Newcastle looked comfortable until the break, with a well-organised defence frustrating the hosts.
But the game turned early in the second half. Aubameyang capitalised on a mistake by goalkeeper Nick Pope to equalise, then stabbed home from Timothy Weah's cross to put Marseille ahead. Newcastle pushed for an equaliser but lacked precision in the final third, with Barnes curling a late effort wide.
