Play by play

  1. 90'

    And that's the end of the action - Newcastle, having played for so long with ten men, produced a brave performance but end up losing 4-1

  2. 89'

    Almost a fifth for Inter - a good move finds Vieri homing in on goal again, but this time Given stops his shot

  3. 86'

    After some scrappy play, injured Aaron Hughes comes off and Steve Caldwell comes on in his place

  4. 82'

    Vieri skips round Given, but the angle is tight and he can't finish it off

  5. 81'

    And his first touch is a goal - a fine curling finish after good work from Dalmat. Given comprehensively beaten, and Inter lead 4-1!

  6. 80'

    Robert tries again - again from long range - but the effort flashes wide. Crespo is replaced by Recoba is Inter make another switch

  7. 79'

    Robert hits a free-kick after a foul on Shearer - Toldo is equal to it

  8. 78'

    Vieri is booked for throwing the ball away after being penalised for a foul on Dabizas

  9. 77'

    Speed looks for Dyer, who can't quite get onto another slide-rule pass inside the area

  10. 76'

    Inter win a free-kick after a spot of midfield tussling - they look for Vieri and Given reacts smartly to claim

  11. 75'

    In the end, the set-piece comes to nothing - Dabizas is unable to get onto the end of a floated cross into the area

  12. 74'

    Another foul on Shearer, another free-kick. Newcastle really going for it...

  13. 73'

    Up goes the crowd volume - Shearer cuts the ball back towards Solano, who is unable to control it. Brilliant work and strength from Shearer

  14. 72'

    Then Robert plays another ball forward and Toldo, this time, is left helpless - Solano's low shot beats him and Newcastle have a deserved goal back. They trail 3-1

  15. 71'

    Hughes looks to jink a pass into the area - that one's overhit, and Toldo - who, don't forget, has made two fine saves, gathers

  16. 70'

    Speed plays a glorious ball to Robert on the left - the Frenchman crosses and Toldo claims. Superb vision by Speed

  17. 69'

    Good noise from the home fans, who haven't given up hope of a consolation goal at least

  18. 68'

    The ball is crossed in, and Toldo punches that one away

  19. 67'

    More controversy... Pasquale and O'Brien involved - Newcastle have the free-kick, but there are no more bookings

  20. 66'

    Okan goes off and Stephane Dalmat will replace him as Inter make a switch

  21. 65'

    Shearer heads it - narrowly over the crossbar

  22. 65'

    Hughes looks for Shearer, and his leap forces Inter to concede another corner...

  23. 65'

    Another Newcastle free-kick - Shearer shoved in the back by Cannavaro...

  24. 64'

    Nothing subtle about Crespo's attempt to bring the ball under control there

  25. 63'

    The home side on the ball in midfield - Inter soon get possession back, but Crespo is penalised for handball... that earns him a booking
