. It's just soccer, right? But I guess it's more exciting when you've got 4 goals in the last half of the game...that's wild! 
Don't get me wrong, Harvey Barnes is a nice player and all, but come on, how many times does one guy have to score in stoppage time?! 
It's just a bit too convenient, if you ask me. And what about the goalkeepers? Loris Karius is like a superhero or something! 
Anyway, I'm sure the fans at St James' Park are having a blast, but for me, it's just another match 
.
They were 2-1 down with like 20 minutes left on the clock, but then they just went for it. Harvey Barnes' 2 goals in stoppage time were pure magic 
. Callum Wilson too, what a performance by him! He's been a thorn in Leeds' side all game and he delivered when it mattered most.
The Magpies have officially got the 'fight never die' spirit 
This win is going to give Newcastle some serious momentum, can't wait to see what happens next! 
️ 4-3 is the final score & i think Newcastle won it fair & square
They didn't even deserve to win after coming back like that! Leeds got robbed and they still somehow fell short.
