Newcastle 2 Levadia Tallinn 1 (Newcastle win 3-1 on aggregate)

Obafemi Martins claimed his first goals at St James’ Park as Newcastle booked their place in the UEFA Cup group stage with victory over Levadia Tallinn.

The Nigerian international struck in the 47th and 50th minutes to effectively kill off the tie with his side leading 1-0 from the first leg.

However, substitute Indrek Zelinski pulled a goal back for the visitors with 25 minutes remaining to give them a glimmer of hope.
