    They've taken one!

    The Swiss defender makes a happy return to his homeland. Manuel Akanji makes an effective follow-up to poke the ball home after Ruben Dias' header is pushed on to the bar by the Young Boys keeper.

    It's just the start to the half City needed.

    Paul: Man City are playing well, only that they’ve not been as clinically as we know them to be but of course, we expect the 2nd half to be different. Doku is more potent on the left. He appears to be struggling on the right flank as he cuts in to his weaker foot.

    Work still to do for the Premier League teams.

    Newcastle have to wrestle control back at St James' while Man City need to take a chance in Switzerland.

    The night's Champions League games are getting back under way...

    It's an easy gig for the Man City laundry team, not a grass stain in sight on this plastic pitch!

    Dortmund are worth their lead.

    Newcastle have been fortunate that it's just one - they've relied on some good goalkeeping from Pope.

    On chances created, Dortmund deserve to be ahead.

    Erling Haaland has failed to score from each of his past 23 attempts in the Champions League (incl. two in this game).

    Haaland scored 35 goals in his first 30 Champions League appearances, but failed to find the net in each of his past six games in the competition (incl. today).

    Grealish is being booed for an early challenge when his fingers touched an opponent’s face, presumably looked worse from the terraces.

    If Gordon stopped diving, he could be a semi decent player. Glad to see the only honest team in Group F winning.

    Great goal, but can’t help but feel if Gordon does the modern footballer and falls from the shirt pull it’s still 0-0.

    Newcastle need to make sure they don't concede a second and Borussia Dortmund have a late corner. There's good whip on the delivery but Newcastle are awarded a free kick for a foul inside the box.

    Somehow it is still goalless.

    City have had plenty of chances. Certainly enough for a team of their quality to score.

    It's high risk football from Dortmund again.

    It was brilliant defending from Nico Schlotterbeck on Anthony Gordon. He had to win the ball and did to set Dortmund on the front foot.

    Felix Nmecha was there to side foot beyond Nick Pope, he's made three great saves but couldn't stop that one.

    Another big save from Anthony Racioppi!

    Rodri is in the middle to meet another whipped Matheus Nunes corner, which he diverts towards goal but sees blocked.

    A fantastic finish and Borussia Dortmund are ahead.

    Nico Schlotterbeck starts it off as he makes a great tackle to take the ball off Anthony Gordon and then sends his side away.

    He races into the box and gets the ball back before teeing up Felix Nmecha to thump a first-time strike into the back of the net.

    15 years ago today, Newcastle suffered a dismal defeat to Sunderland and things were looking grim. Can somebody go and tell my much younger self not to give up hope?

    It's raining in Tyneside. Should be raining goals by now.

    Grealish looking sharp and inventive. Obviously feeling the heat from Doku! Can't understand why the Swiss fans are booing him though. What's that all about?

    Dan Burn is feeling confident as he has a go from 25 yards but it is off target.

    Now Borussia Dortmund lose a player as Emre Can has picked up an injury. He is replaced by Salih Ozcan.
