Newcastle United’s miserable away form continues with 3-1 loss at Brentford

Newcastle United’s Away Struggles Persist in 3-1 Defeat to Brentford

Newcastle United’s disappointing away record in the Premier League continued on November 9, as they fell 3-1 to Brentford at the Brentford Community Stadium. The Magpies have yet to secure a single league win on the road this season.

Newcastle took the lead in the 27th minute against the run of play, but the hosts responded strongly after halftime. Kevin Schade equalised in the 56th minute, before a pivotal moment arrived when Dan Burn conceded a penalty and received a second yellow card in the 73rd minute for a foul on Dango Ouattara.

Igor Thiago converted the spot-kick in the 78th minute to make it 2-1 and later sealed the victory deep into stoppage time with his second goal of the match. Following Burn’s dismissal, Newcastle substituted goalkeeper Nick Pope for Aaron Ramsdale as part of a quick reshuffle after the VAR-confirmed penalty decision.

Manager’s Reaction

"He has been pretty good, hasn’t he? He played here last season against Newcastle and I remember he was a real focal point for us and we won. He is growing in stature and confidence and he has been pretty sensational this season," said Brentford manager Keith Andrews, praising Igor Thiago’s performance.
