00:00United were enjoying a superb 2001-02 Premiership campaign under David O'Leary
00:05And were looking to continue the form that had seen them lose just once in their last 17 league games
00:11Newcastle United were the visitors to Elland Road in mid-December
00:15Hoping to break that sequence and maintain their own title ambitions
00:19The Magpies were sitting on top of the league going into the match
00:23Lee Bowyer made his first start for Leeds since November
00:26After being found not guilty of the charges against him in a high-profile court case
00:31Defender Jonathan Woodgate, who'd been found guilty of the charges against him
00:35Was named amongst the Leeds substitutes
00:38Striker Robbie Fowler had recently scored his first goals for his new club
00:42Since his £11m move from Liverpool in a 3-2 win over Everton
00:46David O'Leary was forced into a defensive reshuffle
00:49With Dominic Matteo out injured, Danny Mills moved across to cover for him
00:54French winger Laurent Robert had come off the bench to score in Newcastle's 3-1 win over Arsenal
00:59And he was rewarded with a place in the starting eleven
01:03That was the only change manager Bobby Robson made
01:06Olivier Bernard, the unlucky player to miss out, he was on the bench
01:10Newcastle were looking to their little and large strike force of Alan Shearer and Craig Bellamy
01:15To trouble the Leeds defence
01:17Your match commentator is Martin Tyler
01:23And here's Solano
01:26With a rehearsed kick-off routine that involves Gary Speed
01:29Of course a former Leeds player
01:32And a Leeds Championship winner
01:35Back in 92, the Old Division won the last year before the Premiership started
01:42Aaron Hughes
01:45Aaron Hughes
02:04That's it, trying to disguise the pass
02:07He disguised it from his team-mates as well as the opposition
02:15Bellamy seems OK
02:20Robert
02:23One for Shearer to look for
02:26Headed on by Kelly
02:28Now Speed
02:30Moving out to Viduca, Batty quickly on the seam
02:38Somewhat mixed reaction to Lee Bowyer being on the ball then
02:44Hart
02:46Viduca trying to get it down, I think initially for Bowyer
02:49But he got it down for himself in the end
02:52He scored here
02:54Against Leicester last weekend, he scored against Everton
02:57On Wednesday, looking to make it three in a row, the Australian
03:04Shearer
03:06A slip by
03:08Bellamy, it's not an easy surface
03:11Fuel
03:13Coming in from the left-hand side to
03:16Take up
03:18A role which
03:20Give him a chance to add to his ten goals already this season
03:23Backpedalling was O'Brien and he took the pace out of the shot from Harry Kewell
03:36Well, Bellamy ending up on the deck
03:40Mills
03:42Responsible
03:44For it, just leaving a foot in
03:52Solano with some deliberation, placing the ball for the free-kick
04:02Well, it was a very good delivery too, and Gary Speed
04:06Whose heading ability has been shown to great effect
04:10On this ground down the years
04:12Just miscalculated here
04:21Solano, Bellamy, no one came with him
04:24Shearer, back for Bellamy
04:27It's still Craig Bellamy
04:30And he says it ran back off a Leeds boot to Nigel Martin's grasp
04:35And asking the referee whether this should be seen as a backpass
04:39There might have been a foul on Shearer then, but Jeff Winter played a good advantage
04:42Bellamy taking it on the burst
04:48Newcastle, of course
04:50Had some great times in the Premiership under Kevin Keegan
04:53They finished second
04:56In the mid-nineties the following year, second again under Kenny Dalglish
05:00But it's been pretty much mid-table stuff
05:02And threatening to be worse than that fouler
05:05Trying to
05:07Unhinge the current league leaders
05:10With that little chip shot
05:12But it's been a wonderful effort by Bobby Robson and his players
05:15To get Newcastle where they are today
05:20Bogut
05:22Kew
05:26He's got a good angle for a cross here, Viduka!
05:33Well, like Gary Speed at the other end
05:36With his headed chance, the verdict is
05:39Should have done better
05:51That's Johnson's pass
05:53And it's Bowyer
06:03Well, he'll
06:05Always make those sort of runs into the penalty area
06:09It's a fine ball by Seth Johnson to
06:12Pick Bowyer up
06:16Hughes
06:18Dier
06:21Solano
06:23The backheel for
06:25Gary Speed to really let rip
06:28And Martin turned it away
06:33Excellent play from Newcastle
06:41Martin with the fists
06:44Elliott
06:47There's a break on out for
06:49Leeds here
06:50Fowler knows that there's space on that side
06:53Filled by the fleet-footed Harry Kew
06:55And Leeds are swarming forward
06:57Had a lot of defending to do in the last
06:5910 or 15 minutes
07:02Johnson has taken it into trouble
07:06Cheerer
07:08Holding it up
07:09Shrewdly
07:11Slipping it on for Dier who'd given him the ball in the first place
07:14And Kieran Dier is away
07:15Bellamy is in the middle
07:16And Newcastle United lead
07:18At Ellen Road
07:20With the crispest of counter-attacks
07:25There's no Highbury hangover here
07:28A side that went
07:29Top of the league
07:31At Arsenal
07:32On Tuesday night have
07:34Locked apart so far
07:36In another difficult away fixture
07:40And they have lived up to those words with the opening goal
07:46Dier putting it on a plate
07:48For Craig Bellamy
07:53Well Kieran Dier is still looking to get his match sharpness fully back
07:57And that might take a little bit of time but
08:00He was at the heart of that
08:04Viduka
08:06Boja
08:07And Lee Boja
08:12On his comeback day
08:16Has produced an instant comeback
08:19For David O'Leary's team
08:24He's certainly got the support of his teammates
08:27And the vast majority of the Leeds United faithful and that's why
08:31That's why
08:44Johnson
08:47And it's Robbie Fowler put through by Seth Johnson
08:53Shea Given
08:55Interrupted the progress, the flow of Fowler's run
09:01Not the first
09:02Splendid pass of the day from Johnson
09:06And as Given made the angle more difficult
09:10For Fowler
09:11He couldn't find the shot to put Leeds in front
09:28Just over a minute plus
09:31Two minutes of added time
09:35First half that's really come to the boil
09:49Elliott
09:54Matty there first
09:58Penalty movement ahead of it
10:00Fowler in particular
10:02And Mark Viduka can stride on
10:13Well they've never had the chance, Newcastle
10:15To reflect on taking the lead
10:17That lead was lost straight away
10:19And goodness me, they could be going in at half time
10:30Whistle
10:39Whistle
10:49Bogut
10:54Solano
10:56Dier trying to get forward, it broke in behind Leeds but
11:01Safely enough
11:02Half time at Elland Road
11:04The first half
11:05Befitting the status of these two clubs
11:09And at half time at Elland Road it's 1-1
11:18The pass from Shearer to Dier this time
11:21Didn't work first time
11:26Robert
11:37Robert again
11:38Working with the speed
11:42Still Robert
11:44Can't pull marginally behind him
11:46Trapped it
11:47Couldn't take it on
11:50Bogut
11:52Fowler
11:56Fowler
11:59Johnson's ball
12:00Viduka's turn
12:02Mark Viduka
12:03Brilliant goal
12:08Absolutely magnificent
12:14Well Newcastle might feel that
12:16Viduka possibly
12:19Shouldn't be on the pitch for the second half
12:21After the two clashes with Damizas
12:24But he is and he's very much
12:26Centre stage
12:31He scores for the third game in a row
12:33Oh Newcastle
12:35Oh Newcastle
12:37Oh Newcastle
12:39Oh Newcastle
12:41Oh Newcastle
12:43Oh Newcastle
12:45Oh Newcastle
12:47Oh Newcastle
12:49Oh Newcastle
12:51Oh Newcastle
12:52Didn't quite get there in time, did that?
12:58He's got a corner Fowler
12:59Interested initially in taking it
13:01But he has been at Leeds long enough to know
13:03The ropes here
13:07The call is for Hart
13:17Ferdinand
13:20Johnson
13:21Viduka got a touch
13:22A miss hit by Bogut
13:25Here's Hart
13:26Oh it's his sort of slot
13:28It's his goal
13:32He's been the corner taker
13:36On that far side
13:39And he just loitered in that part of the pitch with
13:42Real intent
13:44And Newcastle did not react
13:46They've paid a hefty price for it
13:50Luck was with Bogut
13:52With the miscue
13:53But look at the gap for Hart
13:55And a player of his calibre on the left foot
13:57The chances are you're going to get punished
14:00For letting him have a free-potted goal here
14:04Newcastle work
14:05They trail 3-1
14:10And it's been a sumptuous start
14:17Speed
14:18Beautifully through for Dier
14:19Bellamy up with him
14:20Kieran Dier and Craig Bellamy between them
14:23Trying to get Newcastle back into the game
14:25Backed up
14:26By Solana
14:29Dier
14:30Turned out by
14:32Martid
14:33And headed in
14:36On the follow-up by Robbie Elliott
14:39Newcastle are back in the game at 3-2
14:56Dier involved again
15:01Good movement to receive from Solana
15:03This time it was Leeds marking that was culpable
15:07Shearer
15:12Just a whack forward
15:15By Mills
15:23Bellamy
15:24Danny Mills too tight
15:27One of those balls where defenders should really have to accept
15:30That they've no chance of getting it legally
15:33And a free-kick given away in a potentially dangerous area
15:36So it's a fair way out
15:38But they do have Laurent Robert
15:42To Newcastle
15:43Bellamy moves away
15:48They also have Solano but
15:51The left footer would want to
15:54Be the first option here
15:56Unless Solano spots something or just change the angle a little bit
16:01Which he does, here comes Robert
16:03Leeds were out strongly through Mills and Fowler
16:07Back by speed
16:09And it's Boya marking Shearer at the back post
16:13Which he wouldn't have had to
16:15Well he wouldn't have expected to have to do
16:19He did it well but at the cost of this corner
16:25And O'Brien scored against Arsenal from a right-wing corner in midweek
16:32Hands for handball, penalty!
16:34Eric Bakker
16:36Jeff Winter points to the spot
16:40Handball by Bakker
16:46Corner
16:47Not properly cleared, Robert played it back in
16:51There's Bakker coming out
16:53It was touched onto him by speed
16:55The arm was outstretched but Bakker was very close
17:02Well for the second time this week
17:05A pressure penalty
17:07For Alan Shearer
17:13Shearer makes it 3-3
17:15He doesn't bow to the pressure
17:17He bows to the crowd in triumph
17:21Newcastle have shown the capacity
17:23For a comeback again under Bobby Robson
17:30Shearer won the guessing game
17:32But who's going to win the match?
17:38It's level again
17:40Batting
17:41Fowler
17:43His turn that lost to O'Brien
17:46Johnson
17:47Back for Fowler
17:50Goes down, it was outside the area
17:52It's not been given in any case
18:03Bellamy
18:05Leeds thought they should have had a free kick
18:07But it wasn't
18:09Leeds thought they should have had a free kick at one end
18:12And they're so close to
18:14Conceding at the other
18:18Diffing dangerous ball from Bellamy
18:20Particularly with Shearer trying to shoulder his way in
18:24To get the final touch
18:26And maybe have the final say
18:28In this wonderful football match
18:34Solano takes
18:35Distan
18:38It's rolled out
18:41And
18:42Nigel Martin
18:44Is very thankful for that
18:46Back by Distan
18:47Bellamy trying to get a touch
18:50Hughes
19:06Robbie Robson told me personally before the game
19:08How unlucky Olivier Benard was
19:10To be left out of the starting line-up so well
19:12As he played
19:17He's here to
19:18Try and make the last few minutes successful for
19:22Newcastle
19:23Distan
19:25Substitute just before half-time
19:27For Davies-Ass
19:28With a long back pass
19:31Benard trying to get in
19:33Kelly coped
19:35Hart didn't
19:42Solano
19:43Has in the past been criticised for
19:45Not perhaps
19:47Being as impressive away from home as
19:49He is at St James' Park usually
19:52He's certainly played a full part today
19:56Shearer
19:58Teeing up speed
20:00Bellamy
20:05Corner given
20:09Brilliant work from Shearer
20:11Speed decided to take a touch
20:12Mishit the shot
20:15And then
20:17Bellamy
20:18Blazed goalwards
20:22Solano to take the corner
20:33Martin came out for it
20:35Distan was behind him
20:37Deep corner
20:42Hart misjudged it
20:46Not the touch the second time
20:49Mills clearance goes straight to Solano
20:56Dier
20:57Shearer
20:59First time cross
21:00Benard come in a bit early
21:01But he repositioned well
21:03Slice clearance by Mills
21:05Comes to Solano
21:07Bellamy
21:17Well he went full throttle for the shot
21:18And who can blame him
21:28And Bryan tracking him
21:36Leeds throw
21:41Hart
21:45Fowler
21:47For Batty
21:50In towards Bakker
21:52And he got to it as well
22:05Shearer
22:09Mills comes away with the ball
22:15Dier
22:17Then Elliott
22:18And both Shearer and Bellamy here
22:21Lost their concentration
22:22Couldn't play the ball
22:23They would have been offside
22:30Shearer
22:32Shearer
22:34Shearer
22:36Shearer
22:39And Bryan's header needs a bit of help
22:40Gets it from Solano
22:44Beaulieu
22:47O'Brien and
22:49Gibbon getting a little bit close to each other
22:53Benard
23:00Here's Dier
23:02Looking to slide it through for Solano
23:03He's done just that
23:04Norberto Solano
23:10In the 90th minute
23:13Leeds United 3
23:15Newcastle United 4
23:17Phenomenal
23:19They were 3-1 down
23:25Well their instincts are to attack
23:28And how they've attacked from that position
23:30Dier
23:32Perfectly weighted
23:34Cool, calm
23:36Solano
23:37And he collects the goal
23:40That could complete a truly remarkable week
23:43In the history of Newcastle United
23:46Leeds hoping
23:49Batty
23:51Away by Benard
23:52Newcastle have nearly
23:54Nearly got there
24:00This is Louis-Louis
24:02Could be another goal in the offing you know
24:04Because Dier's in the middle
24:07But he didn't look for him
24:12But Bobby Robson's
24:13Use of a speedy substitute
24:15Is a lesson to
24:17Younger managers and coaches
24:22And he has used up a bit of time
24:24And
24:26He's got the ball
24:27And he has used up a bit of time
24:29And that will help Newcastle
24:32But he could have completely wrapped it up
24:39Mills
24:40Newcastle have won it
24:43In amazing circumstances
24:46On a freezing day at Ellen Road
24:48But a fantastic day for football
24:50Leeds United 3
24:52Newcastle United 4
24:54Leeds understandably distraught
24:56At losing that game
24:57After leading 3-1
25:00Despite topping the premiership standings
25:02At one stage
25:03They gently slid down the table
25:05And eventually finished the season in 5th place
25:07On 66 points
25:09With too many home draws instead of wins
25:11Perhaps the Yorkshire club's undoing
25:14Newcastle who remained top of the league
25:16After that win
25:17Couldn't maintain their position
25:19They eventually finished the season in 4th place
25:22On 71 points
