TOON HIT BY GRIM FINISH

United fight back to lead... but Grimaldo grabs late leveller

- LEE RYDER

NEWCASTLE capitulated in Germany as they snatched a draw from the jaws of victory.

It looked like Lewis Miley had won it at the BayArena after coming off the bench to head home his maiden Champions League goal.

Anthony Gordon had hauled his team back into it at 1-1 but a defensive switch off at the end killed dreams of a victory against the 2024 Bundesliga champions.

As the equaliser slipped past Aaron Ramsdale, Nick Woltemade stood with his head in his hands on the halfway line.

And his body language summed up what a big chance Newcastle had squandered. The Magpies registered the game's first shot on target on five minutes when Harvey Barnes, fielded on the right-hand side, sliced past Edmond Tapsoba before firing a tame effort straight at Mark Flekken.
