And the referee
blows his whistle. No more goals in the second-half but an awesome
first 45 sees Newcastle win 3-1 to maintain their title assault.
FULL-TIME NEWCASTLE 3 SOUTHAMPTON 1 |
| 90
|
Shearer finds the
ball at his feet in the box and tries a cheeky chip for his
hat-trick but Jones gathers easily. |
| 90
|
And again Pahars
has a chance and again it's Tessem who sets him up. Slightly harder
than the first chance but the result is the same as the ball hits
row X from an acrobatic Pahars attempt. |
| 88
|
Oh dear. Pahars
misses a golden chance for Southampton. Tessem crosses from the
right and the unmarked Latvian had the goal at his mercy but fired
high and wide. |
| 86
|
But the referee
changes his mind and has now awarded a goal-kick. Nothing has gone
Saints' way this afternoon. |
| 85
|
Time is running
out for Southampton now but they have a corner.
