Harvey Barnes scored a dramatic 102nd-minute winner as Newcastle United beat Leeds United 4-3 in a chaotic Premier League encounter at St James' Park. The match, played in freezing conditions, saw Leeds lead three times but ultimately fall to a stoppage-time sucker punch.
Leeds took the lead through Brenden Aaronson after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's clever pass, but Newcastle equalised through Barnes. Leeds regained the lead from the penalty spot after Malick Thiaw's handball, with Calvert-Lewin converting. Joelinton headed Newcastle level again, but Aaronson scored his second to make it 3-2. Bruno Guimarães equalised from the penalty spot after Aaronson was adjudged to have handled, before Barnes struck the winner deep into added time.
Newcastle defender Fabian Schär was taken to hospital after a serious ankle injury sustained in a challenge with Calvert-Lewin. Manager Eddie Howe said: 'A classic that is difficult to sum up. We weren't at our best but we showed great character.'
Leeds manager Daniel Farke lamented the penalty decisions, saying: 'It was never a penalty but the referee was under great pressure from the crowd. It was such a heartbreaking moment.' He added: 'It became more like basketball. Both teams were out of control and just went for it.'
