    FT: Newcastle 4-3 Norwich

    If you're only tuning in now having watched the Champions League you missed a cracker at St James' Park.

    Dwight Gayle put Newcastle ahead early on, and could have had a hat-trick within 35 minutes, but City levelled on the stroke of half time through a Graham Dorrans penalty.

    Cameron Jerome and Jacob Murphy had put Norwich two-goals clear, but in the fifth minute of stoppage time Yoan Gouffran levelled for the hosts before Gayle got his hat-trick seconds later. 

    The result lifts Newcastle up to third place in the Championship while Norwich remain second, a point ahead of the Magpies.

    I'm off for a lie down...

    What is it with Alex Neil and substitutions that he has to tinker with it and mess with it? 

    He's messed around with it today and he's lost the game.

    Norwich will play better than they did tonight, they're unfortunate to go away with nothing. Alex Neil will try and pick his players up as quick as possible, but sadly for him they didn't start or finish the game well.

    What an amazing end to a football match. 

    Newcastle looked dead and buried as the clock ticked into stoppage time, but fair play to Rafa's men, they never gave up and managed to break Norwich's hearts.

    Norwich could have gone 4-2 up! It was good, persistent play from Newcastle - they had to go direct late on. Somehow, they've won the game.

    It looks like it's the most unlikely of wins! A big win! They might just have done it!

    Dwight Gayle

    Oh. My Word. What a turnaround. Dwight Gayle brings the ball down at the edge of the area, moves a couple of yards into the box and fires low past Michael McGovern to get his a hat-trick. Nothing more than the former Barnet man deserves for all the chances he has had.

    Newcastle starting to throw everything at Norwich, with the big man Mitrovic the focal point of their balls into the box. Can the Magpies get a late equaliser?

    I'd be very surprised if this match finishes 11 v 11. The referee really does need to be strong now!
