Newcastle United Thrashes Anderlecht 3-0 in Europa League
Newcastle United secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Anderlecht in their Europa League clash, despite the Belgian side's unbeaten streak. The match was played at Union Saint-Gilloise's stadium due to Anderlecht's home ground not meeting UEFA standards.
Newcastle's record signing, Nick Woltemade, made an immediate impact, scoring his third goal in four starts since joining from Stuttgart. The Dutch forward flicked in Sandro Tonali's shot in the 17th minute, opening the scoring for the Magpies.
Anthony Elanga, another of Newcastle's expensive summer signings, earned a penalty for his team later in the first half. Callum Gordon, stepping up, converted the spot-kick, doubling Newcastle's lead. He repeated the feat in the second half, securing a 2-0 advantage.
Harvey Barnes, introduced as a substitute, sealed the victory with a well-taken goal, making it 3-0 to Newcastle. Manager Eddie Howe expressed relief at his team's improved performance following recent defeats.
Newcastle's victory ended Anderlecht's 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Woltemade's goal was crucial, while Gordon's brace from the penalty spot and Barnes' late strike ensured a comfortable win for the Premier League side. Howe will be pleased with his team's response after recent setbacks.
