In the first of two games in the Algarve, Newcastle played out a 1-1 draw with Greek champions Olympiakos - and Steven Taylor scored on his return to action after eight months out.

He fired home after Dan Gosling's cross eventually fell to him in the box and it may only have been a friendly, but there was no masking his delight as he celebrated his goal.

However, Kostas Mitroglou levelled late on and that forced a penalty shoot-out - but, somewhat bizarrely, it finished 4-4 after both sides missed one each.

Missing absolutely nothing, however, was our snapper Ian Horrocks, who brings nufc.co.uk this exclusive gallery from the game.
