NEWCASTLE United remain winless as they slipped to the foot of the Premier League table despite playing their part in an entertaining 3-3 draw with Brentford in their first game under Eddie Howe at St James’ Park.
Howe was forced to miss the game after testing positive for Covid-19 on Friday, but his impact after 10 days training was clear. The hosts showed cohesion going forward, but were once again let down by old defensive frailties, as well as a poor showing from goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Jason Tindall, Howe’s assistant, told reporters after the game that the players should not pay attention to the league table.
