Celtic and Newcastle were both held to UEFA Cup quarter-final draws tonight, though it will be Bobby Robson's side that will go into the second leg the happier, buoyed by an away goal.
Celtic hosted Spanish side Villareal and found themselves one nil down after just nine minutes after Moreno Josico headed the visitors in front.
Henrik Larsson was denied an equaliser shortly after half time when the referee correctly adjudged the striker to have deflected the keeper's clearance into the net with his arm.
Larsson however was not to be denied and on the 64th minute headed Didier Agathe's cross home for a vital equaliser.
Similarly Newcastle were in trouble early when Mateja Kezman gave PSV Eindhoven an early lead in Holland.
Newcastle however secured an away goal through Jermaine Jenas in injury time of the first half.
Italian giants Inter Milan failed to get a result in Marseille thanks to 47th minute strike from Didier Drogba.
Earlier a Francisco Rufete strike crowned a Valencia fight back from a goal down to beat 10-man Girondins Bordeaux 2-1 in their quarter-final.
Bordeaux had been gifted the opening goal in the 19th minute when Valencia's Spain goalkeeper Santiago Canizares allowed a free kick by compatriot Albert Riera to slip past him.
The home side, a man down for more than an hour after Rio Mavuba was sent off in the 27th minute, bravely defended their lead but cracked in the last 15 minutes.
Valencia captain Ruben Baraja equalised in the 75th minute as the French side began to tire and Rufete grabbed the winner.
