Charles N'zogbia came back to Tyneside to haunt Newcastle and put 2 goals in as many minutes in the first half. Our poor home form continued into the game and allowed Wigan to go two goals ahead to give us an even harder task in getting our first points since the 6-0 thrashing we gave Villa. The game lacked much from that first home game of the season in both quality and passion. The game however turned in the 74th minute when Shola Ameobi headed home from a Gutierrez cross. That gave both players and fans a glimmer of hope and in the 94th minute Colo stepped up with a header at the far post to send the home fans into a frenzy. 2-2 and the ref blew the whistle for a point each. The game was one to forget and one point was duly welcome by the Toon Army after thinking another home defeat was on its way. A sign of a good team is one that played badly but doesn't give up hope. We did just that and got a point we did not really deserve.
