Brentford vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Gtech Community Stadium
Follow live coverage as Brentford face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Newcastle can enjoy their trip back to the North East then. The Magpies are soaring at just the right time. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Brentford vs Newcastle United
This is a big win for Newcastle, who've won after trailing at half-time for the first time since April 2021. The Geordies return to third in the Premier League table. They're going from strength to strength. Brentford stay ninth. They've failed to win in four league games now, but results will pick up for them soon enough.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Newcastle get their fifth Premier League win in a row! Brentford have fallen to their first home defeat since last September. The Magpies were jittery in the first half, going behind to a Toney penalty. Howe's half-time changes swung the game in their favour though, and they held on for the victory despite the Bees' best efforts.
