"Wissa is the latest in a long line to inherit it, and he offered a reminder why in his side's 3-0 Champions League win against PSV Eindhoven at St James' Park. On a night supporters unfurled a banner urging their side to "write the next headline", Wissa certainly did so. Not only did he open the scoring after just eight minutes, the forward also set up his side's second goal with the aggressive manner in which he pressed slack PSV defender Yarek Gasiorowski."
"It has taken Wissa time to deliver such performances. Wissa, who had already had a disrupted pre-season, following his protracted departure from Brentford, has only scored three goals since making his debut for Newcastle last month. The forward has looked rusty at times, failing to take a big chance to open the scoring in the defeat against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals last week."
Yoane Wissa scored after eight minutes and helped create Newcastle's second goal through aggressive pressing in a 3-0 Champions League win over PSV at St James' Park. The performance earned him man-of-the-match recognition and a standing ovation when substituted. Wissa suffered a serious knee injury with DR Congo in September and faced a difficult recovery that delayed his integration. A disrupted pre-season and a protracted Brentford departure limited his early impact, with only three goals since his debut and visible rustiness at times, including a missed big chance against Manchester City.
