The St James' Park crowd roared in belief.
Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes had just drawn his side level at 2-2 against Brentford with a confident penalty.
But the Magpies were not content with a late equaliser. Sandro Tonali picked the ball out of the net so the game could quickly restart as Guimaraes led the rest of his buoyant team-mates back into their own half.
Was it going to be one of those nights on Tyneside?
Not even close.
It said it all that this fragile side were only level for a few short minutes before Dango Ouattara fired Brentford back in front after capitalising on poor defending.
