"The tone was set early, with Newcastle's high press unsettling PSV from the outset. That pressure paid off in the eighth minute when a poor clearance from the goalkeeper, Kovar, was punished. Bruno Guimaraes reacted quickest and moved the ball on to Joelinton, who fed Yoane Wissa. The forward made a mess of the finish but still managed to squeeze the ball into the net to give the hosts an early lead."
"PSV struggled to settle and were punished again just after the half-hour mark. This time it was a dreadful backpass from Yarek that gifted Newcastle their second goal. Wissa intercepted, kept his composure, and squared for Anthony Gordon, who tapped into an empty net. The only concern for Eddie Howe before the break was the withdrawal of Guimaraes through injury, but his side remained comfortable after half-time."
"Picking up the ball around 30 yards from goal, Barnes drove forward, skipped past his marker and fired a low left-footed shot into the bottom corner, finishing off an excellent individual move. From there, Newcastle saw the game out with ease. PSV managed just one shot on target across the entire match, while the hosts continued to look dangerous on the counter."
Newcastle dominated PSV 3-0 at St James Park, using a high press to unsettle the visitors and capitalise on defensive errors. Yoane Wissa opened the scoring after a goalkeeping clearance was misplayed, and Anthony Gordon converted a second after intercepting a dreadful backpass. Bruno Guimaraes left injured before half-time but the hosts controlled possession and tempo after the break. Harvey Barnes sealed the win with a low left-footed strike following a strong solo run. PSV managed only one shot on target, Newcastle looked dangerous on counters, and late substitutions allowed minutes management.
