Newcastle have set up a grandstand finish against Luton Town during Saturday afternoon’s Premier League kick-off at St. James’ Park.

Despite coming into today’s game as overwhelming favourites, Newcastle, although taking the lead thanks to a brace from Sean Longstaff, trailed 4-2 with 30 minutes to play.

Goals from Gabriel Osho, Ross Barkley and a penalty from Clinton Morris put the Hatters 3-2 up. However, although Elijah Adebayo added a fourth, full-back and Newcastle captain Kieran Tripper halved the deficit with a brilliant finish.
