00:00 Newcastle United conceded a controversial injury time penalty away at Paris Saint-Germain

00:08 to see them draw 1-1 in the Champions League. The Magpies deservedly took the lead in the

00:13 first half through Alexander Isaac after great work from Tino Liveramento.

00:19 After Newcastle defended resolutely for the rest of the game, the Parisians were awarded

00:23 a penalty in the 95th minute for handball, which UEFA have since clarified was not an

00:29 incident that should have been penalised. The draw keeps Newcastle alive in Europe going

00:35 into the final group stage match. Middlesbrough were 4-0 victors over Preston

00:41 in the Championship. Three goals in quick succession in the first half before a further

00:47 goal at the death meant that Michael Carrick's side moved within three points of the play-offs

00:53 and ahead of north-east rival Sunderland who face Huddersfield.
