"Newcastle defeated Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 in Brussels, with a penalty double from Anthony Gordon and goals from Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes giving the Magpies their biggest ever victory in the competition. It was a timely win for Howe's side, who returned to European action off the back of a 'painful' late Premier League defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. "That was exactly what we would have wanted, especially after the Arsenal ending," Howe told a post-match press conference."
"Woltemade has three goals in four starts and became the first Newcastle player to net on both his first Premier League start and first Champions League start for the club. Meanwhile, Gordon, who scored in the prior defeat to Barcelona, became just the third Newcastle player to net in consecutive Champions League matches. The England winger has three goals from four shots in Europe compared to no goals from 17 shots in domestic action."

Woltemade has three goals in four starts and became the first Newcastle player to score on both his first Premier League and first Champions League starts for the club. Gordon has scored in consecutive Champions League matches.
