No exaggeration to say Newcastle could — and should — have scored FOUR times in the opening 30 mins here. Woltemade twice denied by Donnarumma, while Barnes has missed two sitters! Eddie Howe on the touchline, head in hands, hoping that doesn’t come back to haunt his team!

🕵️♂️ 🏴 After Scotland’s World Cup triumph last night, I was straight on the road to Newcastle for a pre-arranged interview with Harvey Barnes today. 🌍 🏆 Thought I’d do the honourable thing and ask him if he’d be up for a Scotland World Cup call … he’s eligible through his
