Owen starts for Newcastle
Michael Owen was handed a Barclays Premiership debut for Newcastle as manager Graeme Souness fielded his new-look strike force for the first time.
The £17m (€25m) man, who scored his last league goal in England against the Magpies for Liverpool on the final day of the 2003-04 season, lined up alongside skipper Alan Shearer in a side which featured three changes to the one which lost 2-0 to Manchester United last time out.
