Dango Ouattara scored a dramatic late winner as Brentford ended their 92-year wait for a victory against Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Brentford manager Keith Andrews had talked about how this "cauldron can rattle teams coming to town" before the game, but his high-flying side showed their mettle once more on the road to record an impressive double over the Magpies - the first time since the 1934-35 campaign in the second tier.

It looked like the teams were set for a share of the spoils after Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes scored a penalty to make it 2-2 with 11 minutes to go.

But there was still time for another twist in an topsy-turvy game when the impressive Dango Ouattara, on his Premier League 100th appearance, fired the ball through Nick Pope's legs in the 85th minute to leave Andrews and his staff punching the air in delight.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe, by contrast, tasted defeat for the third game in a row in all competitions on an evening his side were booed off.

Defender Sven Botman had headed the hosts in front from Sandro Tonali's corner in the 24th minute, but Brentford came roaring back - just like the Bees did in their 3-1 win in November's reverse fixture.

This time Ouattara skipped away from Kieran Trippier down the left and scooped a cross to the back post where Vitaly Janelt got ahead of Botman to head the ball down past Pope to level.

The visitors had been aggrieved not to be awarded a penalty in the opening stages after Trippier tugged Keane Lewis-Potter's shirt in the box.

However, they got their chance from the spot just before half-time after stand-in captain Mathias Jensen's goalbound effort struck the hand of Jacob Murphy inside the box.

There was a lengthy review by the video assistant referee (VAR), but referee Andy Madley's decision stood and Thiago sent Pope the wrong way to score his 17th goal of the season.

Newcastle tried to find a way back into the game in the second half as Howe turned to his bench, and the hosts showed their own powers of recovery when Guimaraes won his side a penalty following a trip by Michael Kayode inside the box.

Madley pointed to the spot after consulting his pitchside monitor and Guimaraes calmly placed the ball straight down the middle to make it 2-2.

But there was still time for Ouattara to net in successive games as Brentford climbed to seventh place in the table and opened up a six-point gap on 12th-placed Newcastle.

The boos at half-time and full-time told their own story.

This was a damaging defeat for Newcastle and head coach Howe.

His weary side desperately looked in need of home comforts following a gruelling run of away fixtures against Carabao Cup finalists Manchester City, Premier League champions Liverpool and Champions League holders Paris St-Germain.

But some familiar vulnerabilities on the road have now started to rear their head at this one-time fortress after three home defeats in just four games at St James' Park.

This was a night where Newcastle were found wanting at both ends of the pitch.

Veteran full-back Trippier endured a difficult night against Ouattara, and was caught out in the build-up to all three goals.

At the other end, forward Yoane Wissa failed to shine as he faced Brentford for the first time since pushing to leave his former club for Newcastle last summer in acrimonious circumstances.

Wissa did have one effort cleared off the line by Janelt in the first half, but this was the night he endured the ignominy of the away end chanting "what a waste of money" and asking him "what's the score?".

Yet having found a way to draw level through the returning Guimaraes, Newcastle should never have lost this game.

But they somehow found a way to do so and are sitting in 12th place for a reason.

Newcastle are favourites to reach the last 16 of the Champions League through the play-offs and can still reach Wembley again through the FA Cup, even if a testing fourth-round tie against Aston Villa awaits next week.

But this season is starting to unravel.

It is hard enough for a club to rebuild after losing their manager, let alone their captain and talismanic forwards like Brentford did last summer.

But the Bees are flourishing under Andrews.

At this rate, they could challenge their Premier League record high of 59 points from the 2023 campaign after starting to find a winning formula on the road.

Brentford always tend to cause teams problems at the Gtech Community Stadium, but Andrews has now ended a previously rotten away run and got the better of Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton and Wolves in recent weeks.

His resilient side, tellingly, did not panic after going behind at a buoyant St James' and one tactical tweak had a devastating impact after Ouattara and Lewis-Potter swapped wings.

As well as having an eye on Newcastle defender's Lewis Hall's increasing threat from left-back, by moving Lewis-Potter across, Andrews knew Ouattara's pace could cause the 35-year-old Trippier problems on the other flank.

So it proved.

And while Wissa suffered with the hosts, what a night for his replacement Ouattara to score his fifth goal for the club.

Newcastle face Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday, 10 February (19:30 GMT), before making the trip to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, 14 February (17:45 GMT).

Brentford host Arsenal at the Gtech Community Stadium on Thursday, 12 February (20:00 GMT), before travelling to Moss Rose to play Macclesfield in the FA Cup on Monday, 16 February (19:30 GMT).
