Gordon double and Woltemade strike send Newcastle past Union Saint-Gilloise

— Match Report

Newcastle United claimed their first Champions League win of the season with a convincing 4-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise at Anderlecht's Lotto Park, with Anthony Gordon scoring two penalties and Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes adding the other goals.

Eddie Howe's side, beaten by Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday and by Barcelona in their European opener, responded emphatically against the Belgian champions to secure their first away victory in the competition since 2003.

Lotto Park was loud at kick-off, and the home fans had an early moment of hope when Kevin Rodriguez directed a half-chance over the bar after Anouar Ait El Hadj's corner fell kindly. Sebastien Pocognoli had set Union up in a 3-4-1-2 with Ait El Hadj operating as a No 10 behind Rodriguez and Promise David.
