Match Report

Niclas Fullkrug's goal put the Bundesliga side ahead midway through the first half and though Joelinton had chances to level things up for Newcastle, Julian Brandt's late strike on the counter-attack ended any hope of a comeback for Eddie Howe's side.

The result leaves Newcastle with work to do if they are to qualify for the knockout stages. They are now three points behind Dortmund with an away tie against Paris Saint-Germain up next, one that could end their hopes of progression if results do not go their way.
