Newcastle United's Historic 4-0 Win in Champions League Boosts Confidence

Newcastle United secured a resounding 4-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League. The win, their biggest ever in the competition, came as a response to their late defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League and has boosted confidence ahead of their clash with Nottingham Forest.

Alan Shearer opened the scoring for Newcastle, marking their first goal streak in the Champions League. He was joined by Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes, who both found the net for the first time in the competition. Anthony Gordon, who scored a penalty double, became the third Newcastle player to score in consecutive Champions League matches. Woltemade's performance was particularly notable, as he became the first Newcastle player to score on both his first Premier League and first Champions League starts. Despite the loss, Union Saint-Gilloise's coach, Sebastien Pocognoli, praised his team's fighting spirit.

Newcastle United's convincing win over Union Saint-Gilloise has been hailed as a significant step in the right direction by manager Eddie Howe. The team will look to carry this momentum into their upcoming Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest.
