Jermaine Jenas scored a crucial away goal as Newcastle's UEFA Cup
quarter-final first-leg clash with PSV Eindhoven ended in a 1-1 draw in Holland.

UEFA Cup quarter final first leg soccer match at Celtic Park in Glasgow,
April 8, 2004. Final score 1-1. [Reuters] | PSV started confidently and took the lead when Mateja Kezman muscled his way
past Aaron Hughes before curling an unstoppable shot past Shay Given.
Gary Speed's long-range effort was saved soon after but PSV were on top and
went close on 23 minutes when Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink headed just over.
The Magpies finally got a foothold when Alan Shearer had a header tipped over
but could have lost Titus Bramble just before the interval when the defender
appeared to strike Remco van der Schaaf with a swinging arm.
He escaped to PSV's disgust and Guus Hiddink's men lost their concentration,
allowing Jenas to rise to guide a looping header from Laurent Robert's free-kick
into the net.
Newcastle rode their luck at the start of the second half when Wilfred
Bouma's header crashed back off the bar and Young-Pyo Lee dragged a shot wide.
The visitors' first real attack of the half saw Darren Ambrose drive a
right-foot shot into the side-netting. But Given's goal came under threat once
again on 66 minutes when Kezman produced an acrobatic overhead kick to send a
Bogelund cross just over.
The PSV pressure was almost constant as time ran out, before Ronald Waterreus
comfortably saved Shearer's late long-range effort.
