Chukwueze’s superb late winner knocks Newcastle out of Champions League
Our Editor
AC Milan substitute Samuel Chukwueze struck a superb late winner to seal a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United as both teams exited the Champions League at St James’ Park on Wednesday.
At one point on a nerve-jangling climax to Group F, Newcastle were heading for the last 16 as they led through Joelinton’s rasping first-half drive and Paris St Germain trailed in Germany to Borussia Dortmund.
But seven-times champions Milan were far better in the second half as Newcastle ran out of steam and Christian Pulisic equalised for the Serie A side on the hour from Olivier Giroud’s pass.
With both sides going for victory, Bruno Guimaraes had a shot tipped on to the crossbar by Milan keeper Mike Maignan before Rafael Leao hit the post at the other end.
A superb counter-attack sealed victory for Milan with Chukwueze curling home to stun the home fans.
With PSG rescuing a 1-1 draw at group winners Dortmund, Milan will settle for a Europa League berth for finishing third while Newcastle bow out of Europe after coming last.
