Newcastle United delivered a commanding performance in their second Champions League group stage match, overwhelming Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise with a decisive 4-0 victory. The English side demonstrated their attacking prowess throughout the contest at St. James’ Park.
The scoring opened when Anthony Gordon converted from the penalty spot, giving the Magpies an early advantage. Gordon would later double his tally with another successful penalty kick, demonstrating clinical finishing under pressure. Further goals from Harvey Barnes and new signing Nick Voltemade sealed the comprehensive win for the home side.
Notably, Voltemade’s strike marked his first Champions League goal since joining Newcastle, signaling a promising start to his European campaign with the club.
Looking ahead, Newcastle will prepare to host Portuguese giants Benfica in their next European fixture on October 21. Meanwhile, Union Saint-Gilloise will face the challenging task of taking on Italian powerhouse Inter Milan in their subsequent group stage encounter.
