October 01, (THEWILL) — Newcastle United recorded their maiden victory in this season’s UEFA Champions League with a comprehensive 4-0 triumph over Union Saint-Gilloise in Brussels on Wednesday evening. Anthony Gordon converted two penalties in a performance that delivered Eddie Howe’s side their largest margin of victory in the competition’s history, surpassing their 4-1 success against Paris Saint-Germain from 2023. The Magpies entered the fixture seeking improvement after dropping points domestically and suffering defeat to Barcelona in their European opener, where Gordon had managed only a late consolation strike. Gordon then stepped up to convert his first penalty two minutes before the interval after Anthony Elanga was brought down inside the box, sending Newcastle into half-time with a comfortable advantage. Substitute Harvey Barnes completed the scoring with a breakaway effort that confirmed Newcastle’s biggest European win and lifted spirits after their difficult start to the season across all competitions.
