Match of the Day: 27th November 2003: Uefa Cup
Overview
Newcastle United v FC Basel. The Toon Army go into this Uefa Cup second-round, second-leg tie with both home advantage and a 3-2 lead after they came twice from behind to win in Switzerland three weeks ago. Goals from Laurent Robert, Titus Bramble and Shola Ameobi were sufficient to see off the threat from the outfit who eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League last season, and Bobby Robson's team will be anxious to make progress in this competition, especially in the light of an indifferent start to their Premiership campaign.
