Eddie Howe’s patchy team needed a quick start, and they got one when Alexander Isak scored a penalty kick in the sixth minute following Vladimír Coufal’s foul on Anthony Gordon inside the area.
Those missed opportunities cost West Ham dearly as Jarrod Bowen set up Kudus for an incredible close-range goal from Paquetá’s swiftly taken free kick in first-half stoppage time.
Just three minutes after the halftime break, Kudus once again made a crucial contribution by setting up Bowen. He shown incredible strength down the left and skillfully placed the ball in the direction of the England winger, who blasted a shot past Dúbravka.
Nevertheless, Newcastle’s pressure was mounting, and following two swiftly converted Barnes chances, the Magpies were granted their second spot-kick of the game when Kalvin Phillips collided with Gordon in the box. Isak took the opportunity to give Newcastle a lifeline with yet another cool penalty.
In an incredible Premier League match that will be remembered for years to come, the home team ultimately prevailed when Barnes scored an incredible long-range goal that left the Gallowgate End in a state of rapture and completed the most incredible of comebacks.
