Comments:

League position: 6th . Newcastle United had now taken 32 points from their 21 games so far in this Premier League season: six points fewer than at the same stage in 2024-25. . The Magpies had now won three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2025 (five). . Since the precise timing of goals was recorded from the start of the 2006-07 season, timed at 101 minutes and 48 seconds, Harvey Barnes' goal had now become the latest winning goal in a game in the Premier League.
