Play by play
- 95'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Gutierrez fires in a dribbler as a superb game comes to an end after a breathless finish. A draw the right result. A decent advert for the Premier League.
- 94'
Ameobi howls for a penalty as he gets into the area and crosses. Nothing doing.
- 94'
Amoebi crosses and Assou-Ekotto clears from Ben Arfa.
- 93'
Another great run from Gutierrez causes panic and Ben Arfa narrowly fails to intercept a pass.
- 92'
What a miss! A great free kick from Taylor, Coloccini slides in before Ameobi squirts the ball back to the defender and on the spin, from four yards out he has shanked it wide.
- 91'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Gutierrez wins another free kick and Modric is booked for persistent fouling I would guess.
- 90'
Five minutes added - a roar goes up from the crowd...
- 89'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Adebayor is off and Pavlyuchenko is on.
- 88'
What a passage of play! Newcastle lose possession, Defoe is in but a great sliding tackle from Coloccini denies him, then Defoe's follow up is saved by Krul before a header from Santon back to his keeper nearly loops into the net!
- 87'
Modric lurks upfield and swaps passes with Bale but his effort is scuffed and Krul saves easily. A good game of football this.
- 86'
A finish just as emphatic as Defoe's - Cabaye slips him into the area but he has plenty to do and lashes a left-footed shot into the bottom corner. Great finish.
- 86'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Ameobi equalises!
- 85'
Splendid run from Walker as he bursts from one end of the field to the other but Coloccini stands firm and does well to rob the ball.
- 84'
A huge let off for Newcastle as Parker breaks, he feeds Adebayor and Defoe was free to his left but he delayed the pass and lost the opportunity.
- 83'
Fridel saves Taylor's effort at the near post and now Bale races away...
- 82'
Parker brings down Tiote now and Newcastle have a free kick on the right edge of the box.
- 81'
Tiote fires in a shot that is right at Friedel but he tips it over.
- 80'
Neat from Ben Arfa and a ball in from Obertan but Friedel collects near post.
- 80'
Now a wild shot from Walker as he intercepted a ball in midfield.
- 79'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> A wild lunge from Tiote on Modric. The inevitable booking.
- 78'
Ben Arfa is trying to do too much with the ball when he gets it. He should have crossed first time then but delayed to try and beat another man.
- 77'
The Italian goes straight to right back. His first assignment in English football is to mark Gareth Bale.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Simpson comes off and Santon comes on.
- 75'
Davide Santon looks like he's about to get a Newcastle debut.
- 74'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Poor tackle from Parker on Ameobi. Free kick and booking.
