Harvey Barnes was the hero last weekend, scoring twice to help Newcastle beat Man City. And in the Champions League away game against Marseille, he continued his form, taking just six minutes to open the scoring with a quick finish in the box.

However, the early advantage did not help Newcastle control the entire match. Marseille with the attacking duo Greenwood - Aubameyang put strong pressure and continuously created storms towards the "Magpies" goal. However, the home team still had to leave the field after the first half with a disadvantage in the score.
At the beginning of the second half, Newcastle's defensive errors turned things around. In the 46th minute, Aubameyang scored a decisive equalizer after a pass from Bakola.
Just four minutes later, the veteran striker continued to punish his opponents' laxity with a second goal, this time from a pass from Timothy Weah.
Despite having plenty of time to find an equalizer, Newcastle were stuck in front of a disciplined Marseille defense. The few chances they had were not sharp enough to change the outcome. Eddie Howe's team had to leave the field empty-handed.
