HEARTACHE FOR NEWCASTLE AS SOFT PENALTY AWARD EARNS PSG A DRAW
Kylian Mbappe fired home a controversial penalty deep into stoppage time as Paris Saint-Germain rescued a 1-1 draw and denied Newcastle United a famous win at the Parc des Princes in UEFA Champions League Group F.
The Magpies looked to be on the brink of a victory that would have left their destiny in their own hands, but a VAR intervention led to a harshly awarded spot kick for a hand ball against Tino Lavramento that allowed the Ligue 1 champions to level in the 98th minute.
Luis Enrique’s side were keen to try and avenge the 4-1 drubbing they suffered at St James’ Park earlier in the campaign and made a lightning start with Fabian Ruiz and Mbappe going close.
However, The Magpies rode out the initial storm and then silenced the boisterous home support on 24 minutes when Alexander Isak tucked in the rebound after Gianluigi Donnarumma spilled Miguel Almiron’s 20-yard shot.
PSG were left frustrated for long spells but when they did manufacture an opening they were thwarted by the imperious Nick Pope until the last-gasp drama led to the cruel twist that denied the visitors all three points.
The result means Newcastle sit third in Group F on five points. PSG are second on seven points with leaders Borussia Dortmund, who are now through to the Last 16, on 10 points. AC Milan are fourth on five points with an inferior goal difference.
Newcastle will now conclude their Group F campaign at home to AC Milan on December 13 in the knowledge that they need Dortmund to do them a favour when they host PSG.

TNT SPORTS PUNDIT ALLY MCCOIST SAYS NEWCASTLE WERE ROBBED
"I'm really devastated for them.
"The work rate was there, they put bodies on the line, they had no subs...
"Eddie Howe will be absolutely thrilled to bits with what they have given him.
"I feel there was a serious injustice with that penalty being given."
Former Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas concurred: "It was a shocker from the referee. He had such a good game, but to give that one right at the end, he's caved.
The PSG players put him under so much pressure throughout the game, but for that to happen at the end, it doesn't feel right. It's a tough one for the players to swallow, but Eddie Howe will be so proud of his team."
