Anthony Gordon scored a pair of penalties as Newcastle eased to a 4-0 win away to Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday to pick up their first points in the Champions League.
Nick Woltemade flicked in Sandro Tonali’s shot to give Newcastle the lead in Brussels before Gordon converted twice from the spot on a comfortable night for Eddie Howe’s men.
It is an exciting start for him and he’s done really, really well and more importantly he is willing and he wants to do the work and he wants to improve,” Howe said of the Germany international.
Sweden international Elanga tested Scherpen straight after the interval before Union enjoyed their best spell.
Nick Pope saved well from Adem Zorgane and Ousseynou Niang moments after Anan Khalaili steered narrowly wide for the Belgian champions.
