Borussia Dortmund v Newcastle LIVE: Result and reaction as Magpies lose crunch Champions League clash

Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Newcastle: Magpies qualification hopes left in the balance after frustrating loss in Germany

Newcastle face crucial UCL test at Dortmund

Niclas Fullkrug and Julian Brandt dealt Newcastle United’s Champions League hopes a potentially fatal blow as Borussia Dortmund completed the double over Eddie Howe’s injury-hit side.

Fullkrug’s first-half strike and Brandt’s effort 11 minutes from time secured a 2-0 Group F victory in front of a sell-out 81,365 crowd at Signal Iduna Park to go with their 1-0 success at St James’ Park two weeks ago.

But the outcome might have been very different had Joelinton not headed wide from point-blank range at 1-0 amid a concerted fightback by the Premier League side, who have now taken four points from as many games, three fewer than Dortmund.

Edin Terzic’s men will nevertheless feel they were good value for their win on a night when they bounced back from a nightmare 4-0 defeat by arch-rivals Bayern Munich on their own pitch in determined fashion, to the delight of their famous Yellow Wall.
