Newcastle must not miss their chance to end the league in 3rd place in the standings. Leeds is an easy opponent if we compare as a whole, so there should be no reason for Leeds not to be able to win this game. Although they will act as guests, their strength is far above Leeds. This is their big chance to get 3 full points and keep their distance from Manchester United who are in 4th position. Indeed, the remaining matches in the Premier League are very crucial for teams that do not have the right distance from their competitors.

If I saw at the standings currently and the last five matches of both teams, I'll agree that against Leeds is an easy match for Newcastle, because they are also currently better rather than Leeds. And yeah Newcastle must not miss their chance to stay away from Manchester United, but the both teams leeds and Newcastle need a win to get three points. Especially Leeds they need points to stay in the premier league, so maybe Leeds will do effort very well to not lose points in this match, in my opinion there is a possibility this game will end in a draw result.

It's a shame that this match was passed by Newcastle because they really failed to maximize playing against a club whose performance was far below them.
The match ended with 1 point for both teams which of course although this is still quite good but it's a shame for Newcastle because they could have been more than that.
Their mastery in attack dominance and possession was very good but Leeds also played very well in this match even though they had to lose 1 player in the last minutes but they were really good at maximizing 1 point against a club that was actually better than them.

That was one of the surprise results of tonight games while most other games came as expected I think.Newcastle had everything under their control for most of the game and had even chances to go past 1-2 but they couldn't and as that unwritten law of football says,when you don't score then you will concede.Leeds played well today and they had the chance to go to 2-0 or 2-1 but they missed a penalty and that was the turning point of the game as soon after Leeds lost a penalty Newcastle got and scored from a penalty also,really strange seeing Newcastle such low performance in this game.

You are right Newcastle were in complete control of the game for most of the time. But if the team's defense is a little more responsible and doesn't make any mistakes, the match will be secured for Newcastle. However, the goal of the opposing team was nothing but extraordinary. When Newcastle were 2-1 up, they needed a completely defensive game.
