Set-plays have really become Newcastle’s achilles heel.
After late concessions against Spurs and Burnley last week, Eddie Howe’s side have fallen behind courtesy of rather straightforward corner against Bayer Leverkusen tonight.
Far too easy for Robert Andrich to wriggle away from Sandro Tonali and get on the end of the delivery - even if his header takes wicked deflection off Bruno Guimaraes.
