Newcastle vs Borussia Dortmund LIVE! Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Newcastle vs Borussia Dortmund - LIVE!

Felix Nmecha dented Newcastle's Champions League charge as Borussia Dortmund kick-started their Group F campaign with a 1-0 victory on Tyneside. The Germany midfielder's 45th-minute strike clinched victory at a rain-soaked St James' Park on a night when three more points for Eddie Howe's men, who twice hit the crossbar late on, would have left them with one foot in the last-16.

They will now head into tough away games in Dortmund and against Paris St Germain next month with serious work to do to extend their stay in the competition. And they will possibly have to do it without midfielder Sandro Tonali, who was used as a second-half substitute amid speculation he could be handed a lengthy ban for alleged breaches of betting rules.

Memories of Newcastle's 4-1 demolition of Paris St Germain earlier this month faded as last season's Bundesliga runners-up produced an accomplished away display to remind them that the race for qualification from Group F has a long way to go.
