Newcastle Meltdown: Late Goals Sink Magpies in Germany

Newcastle United faced a dramatic late turnaround in their UEFA Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen, ultimately drawing 2-2. The Magpies held a significant lead as the match approached its conclusion at the BayArena, a venue known for its difficulty.

An early own goal from Bruno Guimarães had put Leverkusen ahead, but Newcastle responded. An error by goalkeeper Mark Flekken allowed Anthony Gordon to equalize from the penalty spot early in the second half. Lewis Miley then headed Newcastle into the lead in the 73rd minute.
