Newcastle and Manchester City served up a seven-goal thriller as Craig Bellamy earned the Magpies a 4-3 win over Kevin Keegan's men.

The 25-year-old Welshman struck a minute from time to cap a remarkable second half which saw the game explode into life and make anything seem possible.

Graeme Souness' men were in complete control after a Laurent Robert free-kick and an Alan Shearer penalty had given them a 2-0 lead with 56 minutes gone, and few among a stadium record crowd of 52,316 at St James' Park could have predicted what followed.

Shaun Wright-Phillips and substitute Robbie Fowler, with a penalty, dragged City right back into it, only for Robbie Elliott to restore the home side's advantage with a third goal in five minutes with 69 minutes gone.

Wright-Phillips looked to have snatched a point with 13 minutes remaining when he fired home from close range, but in a breathless reminder of the Magpies' two classic 4-3 encounters with Liverpool during the 1990s, Bellamy put his training ground spat with Souness firmly behind him to bank three points and extend his side's unbeaten run to nine games.

Newcastle and Manchester City served up a seven-goal thriller as Craig Bellamy completed his redemption in the eyes of the Magpies faithful.

The 25-year-old Welshman struck a minute from time to cap a remarkable second half which saw the game explode into life and make anything seem possible.

Graeme Souness's men were in complete control after a superb Laurent Robert free-kick and an Alan Shearer penalty - David James bringing down Stephen Carr - had given them a 2-0 lead with 56 minutes gone.

And few among a stadium record crowd of 52,316 at St James' Park could have predicted what followed.

Shaun Wright-Phillips, netting from a Danny Mills throughball, and substitute Robbie Fowler, hitting a penalty after being fouled by Nicky Butt, dragged City right back into it.

However, Robbie Elliott restored the home side's advantage with a third goal in five minutes with 69 minutes gone.

His header from another Robert free-kick went in off the post as James agonisingly attempted to prevent it going over the line.

Wright-Phillips looked to have snatched a point with 13 minutes remaining when he fired home from close range, the ball having run loose in the box.

But in a breathless reminder of the Magpies' two classic 4-3 encounters with Liverpool during the 1990s, Bellamy put his training ground spat with Souness firmly behind him to score from Olivier Bernard's cross.

With no further drama, the Welshman's goal banked three points and extended his side's unbeaten run to nine games.
