On 13 November 2002 at De Kuip, Bobby Robson's Newcastle United beat Bert van Marwijk's Feyenoord 3-2 - a night Robson later calls his finest, and the Magpies' first ever passage to the Champions League second group stage.
Needing victory after losing their first three group games, Newcastle lead in first-half stoppage time when a long launch forward is flicked on and finished under Patrick Lodewijks. Three minutes after the restart a left-footed drive from the edge doubles the advantage.
Mariano Bombarda scrambles home from Bonaventure Kalou's pass to give Feyenoord hope, and Anthony Lurling's powerful finish levels with twenty minutes left as the De Kuip roars.
Paul Bosvelt is inches away late on, but with Newcastle staring at the UEFA Cup a rebound from Lodewijks' save is slid home in the ninetieth minute. Coupled with Juventus' win over Dynamo Kyiv, Franz-Xaver Wack's whistle confirms historic progress for Robson's side.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
