Newcastle’s Saudi Arabia takeover collapses
Newcastle United face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday night. Both need all three points as they bid to push higher in the division with safety the priority for both at the beginning of the campaign.
And that might just be achievable against a Newcastle outfit whose confidence will no doubt have been knocked by their 5-2 loss to Leeds this week. A competitive match devolved into a thrashing in the final 13 minutes as Steve Bruce’s Magpies conceded three late on, and the manager will have told his players that much more resilience is needed from here on out.
Follow all the latest updates and analysis from St James Park:
Newcastle 1 – 1 Fulham
90+5 mins: Full time. Newcastle defend a last minute corner from Fulham and then the final whistle goes. It’s a point apiece. Fulham will be pleased with that as they’re out of the relegation zone again. Newcastle add another point to their tally, they’re going along nicely in the middle of the table.
