Newcastle’s miserable away form continues with 3-1 loss at Brentford
LONDON: Newcastle United’s miserable away run in the Premier League continued on Sunday with a 3-1 defeat by Brentford after Dan Burn conceded a second-half penalty and was sent off. Igor Thiago made it 2-1 from the spot in the 78th minute, after a 56th-minute Kevin Schade equalizer, as the hosts fought back from going a goal down against the run of play in the 27th at the Gtech Community Stadium. Thiago then grabbed his second, and eighth league goal of the season, in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Burn was sent off in the 73rd for his second yellow for fouling Dango Ouattara and Newcastle replaced concussed goalkeeper Nick Pope with Aaron Ramsdale off the bench in a rash of substitutes once VAR confirmed the penalty. Newcastle have yet to win away in the league this season, losing five and drawing four in the top flight since last April, while faring considerably better at home, in the Champions League and in cup competitions. Sunday was their third straight away defeat in the league while Brentford moved up to 12th. “The Champions League, you have to forget about it to a degree but the Premier League is everything,” manager Eddie Howe said.
