Newcastle United make history

Lokomotiv Moscow beat Club Bruges 2-0 to steal second spot in Group H ahead of the Belgians and Turkish side Galatasaray, while Deportivo won 2-1 at AC Milan to confirm second place in Group G.

Bellamy made a sensational return to action after serving a three-game suspension and following the recurrence of a serious knee problem. The speedy Welsh winger put Newcastle ahead at the De Kuip stadium on the stroke of half time and when Portuguese teenager Hugo Viana doubled their lead soon after the break Newcastle were in command. But Feyenoord, who would have qualified themselves had they won, roared back with goals by Mariano Bombarda and Anthony Lurling until Bellamy rammed a loose ball in from a tight angle in the dying seconds to settle an extraordinary match. Dynamo were on course to qualify when Maksim Shatskikh gave them the lead after 49 minutes in front of 75,000 fans in Kiev.

But Juventus, already sure of going through, hit back with strikes by Marcelo Salas and Marcelo Zalayeta to break Ukrainian hearts, althouh Kiev have the consolation of a place in the UEFA Cup third round. Like Newcastle, Lokomotiv Moscow went through to the second phase for the first time. The Russian outsiders leapt from bottom to second in Group H by beating Bruges with goals by Julio Cesar and Dmitry Loskov as Galatasaray’s poor campaign ended disastrously. (Reuters)
