Aubameyang Double Stuns Newcastle as Marseille Mount Velodrome Turnaround

— Match Report

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rolled back the years with a quickfire second-half double as Marseille came from behind to beat Newcastle United 2-1 in the Champions League at a febrile Stade Velodrome.

Harvey Barnes had given the visitors a dream start with a clinical sixth-minute finish, but the 36-year-old former Arsenal and Chelsea forward struck twice in four minutes after the interval to deliver Marseille their second Champions League win of the season.
