Newcastle's Champions League hopes in danger

Niclas Fullkrug and Julian Brandt inflicted a possibly fatal blow to Newcastle's Champions League chances as Borussia Dortmund completed the double over Eddie Howe's injury-plagued side. Fullkrug's first-half goal and Brandt's late goal clinched a 2-0 Group F triumph in front of a sell-out crowd at Signal Iduna Park, adding to their 1-0 win at St James' Park two weeks ago.

However, the conclusion might have been quite different if Joelinton had not headed wide from close range at 1-0 in the midst of a determined fightback by the Premier League side, who have now secured four points from four games, three fewer than Dortmund. Edin Terzic's side had battled back from a terrible 4-0 defeat by archrivals Bayern Munich on their home ground, much to the pleasure of their iconic Yellow Wall.
