Taylor swoops to save Magpies

LOCAL hero Steven Taylor made sure his first Newcastle goal was a crucial one as he fired the Magpies into the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup.

The 20-year-old central defender had a part to play in Fabian Canobbio’s ninth-minute opener for Celta Vigo.

But after Antoine Sibierski had cancelled out the Uruguayan’s strike with a 36th-minute equaliser – his fourth goal in a black and white shirt and his third in Europe. Then Taylor powered a header past Esteban Suarez from Albert Luque’s corner four minutes from time to send Glenn Roeder’s men into the last 32.
