Newcastle came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium in their latest Premier League game. Despite Brentford’s strong start to the game, with Ivan Toney scoring a penalty to give the Bees the lead, the Magpies showed their character in the second half. Brentford had a goal disallowed for offside with Toney also missing from the spot for the first time since 2018.The second half saw Alexander Isak and David Raya – unfortunately for the Brentford goalkeeper – helping the visitors come out on top. As a result, the Magpies moved back to third place in the table, level on points with Manchester United.
It was Brentford’s second consecutive defeat, which has not helped their prospects for European qualification. The match also saw Brentford failing to win a Premier League game in which they opened the scoring for the first time.

Newcastle has now won 100 Premier League points under their head coach, Eddie Howe. Only Kevin Keegan in 1994 required fewer games than Howe to reach this milestone with Newcastle. Newcastle’s next fixture sees them visit Aston Villa, while Brentford’s previous defeat means that they cannot afford to lose any more matches if they want to fulfill their dreams of playing in Europe next season.

Alexander Isak’s second-half goal secured three crucial points that keep the Magpies firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish. This result shows that Newcastle has the resilience and quality to overcome tough opposition, and Steve Bruce’s side will be looking to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches. On the other hand, Brentford will be left wondering how they let this one slip away but they will have to regroup quickly, as they prepare for their next league fixture. Overall, it was a thrilling encounter at Brentford Community Stadium, and the Toon Army can bask in the glory of a job well done.
