Magpies still in the hunt after Bowyer volley narrows Deportivo lead

Deportivo La Coruna 2 Newcastle 1

Graeme Souness's side were beaten by goals in each half from Ruben Castro and Jorge Andrade but a stunning volley from Lee Bowyer limited the damage. Deportivo provided a stern test for the injury-hit Magpies but despite their extra class and a number of chances, they were unable to put the tie beyond reach.

With an away goal to their name, Newcastle who had been missing Scott Parker, Emre, Jermaine Jenas, Kieron Dyer, Shola Ameobi and Titus Bramble still have a chance.
