YAMAL PENALTY DENIES NEWCASTLE LATE WIN AGAINST BARCA.

Newcastle United were denied a crucial first-leg victory after Lamine Yamal scored a
stoppage-time penalty to earn FC Barcelona a 1-1 draw in their UEFA Champions
League last-16 clash at St James’ Park.
The hosts looked set for victory when Harvey Barnes volleyed home late in the
second half after sustained pressure from Eddie Howe’s side.
However, Barcelona snatched a dramatic equaliser deep into stoppage time after a
foul on Dani Olmo led to a penalty that Yamal calmly converted.
The result leaves the tie finely poised ahead of the return leg in Catalonia.
