"Marcus Rashford scored his first Barcelona goals as the LaLiga giants sank a spirited Newcastle side in an enthralling game at St James' Park on Thursday. Anthony Gordon pulled one back in the 90th minute for Eddie Howe's side, who at times outplayed their big-name opponents. But they were ultimately undone by two fine Rashford efforts in the second half."
"In an intriguing but ultimately goalless first half, it was the hosts who enjoyed the better of it. Gordon squandered a great chance inside the opening 10 minutes when he failed to connect with the lively Antony Elanga's cut-back. On such a momentous occasion, the Magpies showed little sign of nerves, restricting the Catalan club to very few clear-cut chances."

Anthony Gordon pulled one back in the 90th minute.
