Newcastle 4 Leeds 3 –  Wednesday 7 January 2026 8.15pm

Newcastle United fan/writer reaction from some of our regular contributors on The Mag.

Nat Seaton:

‘WOW WOW WOW what a night!

We’ve come out on the right side of a late goals thriller and how sweet it feels.

So many things to be happy about – just look at all those other results seeing us jump up to 6th! Beating Leeds (although we tried our best to give them a head start…) always makes me happy.

If we’d won 1-0 we’d have the same 3 points but tonight was one of those special nights where those same 3 points mean so much more, grateful to have been there and grateful that it all ended at the Leazes End for once!

And on we go to the FA Cup and Carabao Cup Semi Final with a fighting spirit that is to be applauded, thanks lads.’

Matt Busby said to Joe Harvey…:

‘What a finish! Is that the first time we’ve come from behind to win this season?

Obviously I’ll take the win but Leeds probably deserved a point, although their time wasting backfired in spectacular fashion...
