Play by play

  1. 90'

    Twice Feyenoord cleared off the line, once the woodwork came to their rescue - but the UEFA Cup champions were always a threat and took their chance superbly when it came

  2. 90'

    Crushing disappointment for Sir Bobby Robson's men, who tried manfully and could consider themselves unlucky not to have registered their first goal of the campaign

  3. 90'

    Full-time and Newcastle are played two, lost two

  4. 90'

    One last surge from the Toon, but Feyenoord are back en masse...

  5. 90'

    Griffin chips forward, it breaks for Shearer, but Paauwe has been fouled and the whistle stops play as Shearer's shot hits the side-netting

  6. 90'

    Lua Lua causes more problems, escaping the attention of three defenders to find Dyer speeding down the left. But a badly sliced cross with his wrong foot goes out for a goal kick

  7. 89'

    Three minutes to be added

  8. 89'

    Solano takes but Feyenoord are smart, pullling out as one to catch Shearer, Griffin and co offside

  9. 88'

    Shearer flicks on for Lua Lua who muscles past van Wonderen, only to be wrestled to the ground. 'Cynical' stuff, as you might say, that brings a yellow card

  10. 86'

    Lua Lua's clever dummy frees Shearer down the inside right, but two blue Feyenoord shirts are in the way

  11. 85'

    Lua Lua has made a big impact - this time he finds Solano in the box but Zoetebier swoops after a scramble by the penalty spot

  12. 84'

    Understandably, more space appearing at the Newcastle rearguard. Van Hooijdonk exploits by finding Buffel arriving late - but Given has no trouble gathering a weak shot

  13. 83'

    Shearer drives in a cross from the right. Lua Lua controls before smashing a brutal volley that brushes the side-netting

  14. 82'

    Lurling replaces goalscorer Pardo

  15. 81'

    Ono drifts offside. Rather a waste as van Hooijdonk's flick could have put him into space on the left wing

  16. 80'

    Feyenoord corner on their right. Song takes but it's poor and Shearer clears for Lua Lua to chase. It's guided back to Zoetebier who hammers clear

  17. 79'

    Lua Lua takes on van Wonderen, his cross ricochets away for Bosvelt to hook clear

  18. 78'

    The Feyenoord fans seem happy about that change of personnel as 'You'll Never Walk Alone' rings out, much to the disgust of the home support

  19. 77'

    That's the tiring Welshman's last contribution - on comes Lua Lua

  20. 76'

    Bellamy finds himself free at the far post... volleying off the top of the bar to the relief of Zoetebier

  21. 75'

    Ono shows his frustration by indulging in a woeful dive... yellow card

  22. 74'

    Newcastle break. Robert drives from range and Zoetebier saves well low down

  23. 74'

    Now Buffel gets behind the defence, Ono is there with a clear shot - but straight at Given

  24. 73'

    Van Hooijdonk finds Emerton down the right. Dabizas and Hughes are there to cover but the former Newcastle target retains possession, crossing for Song. But O'Brien is back

  25. 71'

    Bellamy looks for Dyer bursting through but the England man is narrowly offside
