SAVE! Wissa, has an effort from 25 yards out after Carvalho's free-kick is cleared. The strike is swerving all over the place but Pope does well to hold at the second attempt.

CHANCE AFTER CHANCE! The visitors attack at pace once more and it's a carbon copy of the earlier chance for Barnes. This time, Murphy drifts inside and has a pop with his left-foot but his effort flies well over the crossbar.

WIDE! Newcastle come forward for the first time in the second half. Barnes picks up the ball and drives towards the edge of the box. The former Leicester City forward then cleverly cuts inside before bending his effort just past the far post.

OFF THE POST! Brentford nearly retake the lead! Mbeumo finds Thiago who flicks it onto Wissa, who is marauding down the right-hand side. The forward decides to cross the ball across the face of goal and Pope ends up palming his effort onto the foot of the post. That was close!
