This game has opened right up in the last 10 minutes or so and Barnes is almost slipped through the gap in the middle. He's forced wide by Mee but still manages to pick out Guimaraes, who fires a shot high over the bar.

Brentford look to make a quick response to going behind by working it into Newcastle's box straight from the restart. It's pulled back to Mbuemo on the edge of the box, but he slices a shot well wide.

Penalty Goal Callum Eddie Graham Wilson
Newcastle United vs Brentford
Brentford can't believe that the penalty has gone against them, but their arguments are falling on deaf ears. The referee shepherds them out of the box as Wilson puts the ball on the spot, but he'll have to wait a bit longer.

PENALTY TO NEWCASTLE! Hickey knocked the ball back to Flekken, not realising that Gordon was rushing in behind him. The wing-back can't stop him from getting to it, and Flekken then trips the winger as he tries to clear it. The referee takes a moment to think about it before pointing to the spot.

NO GOAL! It's a scramble in the box as Collins' header loops up into the air, and Wilson backs into Flekken. The keeper misses his punch and Gordon's shot pinballs towards goal before Wilson helps it over the line from close range. The referee says it's a foul on the keeper though, and it won't count. Still 0-0!
