"Nick Woltemade and Anthony Gordon kick-started Newcastle United's Champions League campaign as they cruised to a 4-0 win at Union St. Gilloise. It has been a difficult start to the season for the Magpies, but they responded brilliantly to the heartbreak of their dramatic Premier League loss to Arsenal last Sunday with a superb away performance, claiming their first Champions League victory on the road since a 3-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in 2003."
"Woltemade's improvised finish put them in front in the 17th minute, before Gordon gave them control with a 43rd-minute penalty. Union threatened to pull one back, but Gordon's second spot-kick in the 64th minute ended the game as a contest, with Harvey Barnes then adding late gloss to the scoreline as Newcastle claimed their first win of the league phase in style having opened with a narrow defeat to Barcelona."
Newcastle United produced a dominant 4-0 away victory at Union St. Gilloise with goals from Nick Woltemade, Anthony Gordon (two penalties) and Harvey Barnes. The win provided a strong response following a dramatic Premier League defeat to Arsenal and represented Newcastle's first Champions League away victory since 2003. Woltemade opened the scoring after an Anthony Elanga cross was half-cleared and a Sandro Tonali effort was deflected in. Gordon converted penalties in the 43rd and 64th minutes to secure the result, and Barnes added a late goal. Newcastle will next face Benfica at St James' Park on October 21.
