- Highlights
90+5'
There goes the final whistle! All over. A 1-0 win for Newcastle on the night. 1-0 on aggregate. A deserved win in the end for Alan Pardew's side. Newcastle will face Anzhi or Hannover in the last 16.
90+3'
Spurs are level at 1-1 in Lyon. They look like heading for the last 16 alongside Newcastle, who are a minute or so away from victory on the night.
90+1'
We are into five minutes of time added on here.
89'
Krul has now been booked for a spot of time-wasting. Not sure what that was for.
88'
Krul spills the ball, but collects at the second attempt. Cristaldo booked for a late challenge as the Dutch keeper made the stop.
87'
Fininho booked for a spot of dissent. Gave Cabaye a real mouthful there.
86'
Krul with another timely stop to push Willian's flick onto a post before Haidara clears the danger. Krul in exceptional form.
85'
Looks like a knee problem, but Cabaye gets back to his feet. Looks like Newcastle will make a third change for these closing moments.
84'
Coloccini comes up with a wild clearance that wouldn't have looked out of place at Twickenham. Meanwhile, Cabaye is needing a spot of treatment here.
83'
Miron Markevich looks thoroughly fed up in that Metalist technical area. Wondering what might have been.
82'
Metalist have looked at their best in throwing caution to the wind, but one wonders why they didn't try this when the scoreline was level at 0-0.
81'
Blanco takes over from Edmar for the home side. Newcastle really need to get bodies up the park. Sitting too deep here.
80'
Jaja fires a shot at goal from five yards out, but Perch does enough to make the block. Newcastle almost paying the price for failing to clear a corner.
79'
Fininho deemed to be offside as that latest wave of Metalist attacking intent comes to nothing.
78'
And another fabulous save by Krul to dive to his left and palm the ball away after Cristaldo had turned and whacked a shot at goal.
77'
Willian picks out Cristaldo on the run, but Krul is there to make a superb block. Metalist piling on the pressure.
76'
Off comes Anita and on comes Gutiérrez. Newcastle almost over the line here with fresh legs added to the mix.
75'
Here come a couple of changes for Newcastle. Off comes Cisse and on comes James Perch.
74'
The visiting fans in this crowd certainly enjoyed that moment. But Cisse has collected a booking for a push on Cristaldo, who kicked out off the ball seconds earlier.
73'
Simpson with a timely tackle on Willian. Newcastle have a real chance to add a second on the break with Metalist forced to throw bodies up the park.
