At St James Park, seeing the vast structures of the Milburn and Leazes Stand lit up under the lights was quite something.

The Leeds game was an uplifting one for Newcastle fans thanks to three very good reasons that can’t be ignored.

After Newcastle 1 Leeds 1 It is now time for these players to really step up to the pressure and get the job done.

Rob Green “No matter how badly you play you always get a chance.”

Leeds fans comments post-match: ‘Newcastle v Leeds should be a top flight game, I mean Bournemouth v Watford…c’mon now.’

Isaac Hayden “That is football and we will look back and see where we can do better.”

Rafa Benitez after Newcastle 1 Leeds 1 “Their keeper was man of the match and they have one chance and they score.”

Rafa Benitez throws caution to the wind for once and shows what a good team Newcastle United are.

A gripping match at St James Park but do you agree with these Newcastle v Leeds match ratings?

Leeds United media – ‘Chris Wood averted defeat by robbing Newcastle United…Benitez’s players dominated ruthlessly.’
