"Nick Woltemade answered Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's "idiot" jibe in perfect style as he scored for the third time in four games as Newcastle United cruised to a 4-0 victory at Union Saint-Gilloise. The 23-year-old, whose club record £69 million transfer fee was heavily criticised by the Bayern Munich executive in the run-up to the game, scored with a clever 17th-minute flick which went in off defender Kevin Mac Allister as the Magpies secured their biggest win in the competition's group phase."
"Newcastle started brightly and Joelinton skied a hurried attempt over after keeper Kjell Scherpen had punched Tonali's first-time cross to the edge of his penalty area and the Italy international was instrumental in breaking the deadlock with 17 minutes gone. Elanga's cross was cleared by defender Mac Allister and as Tonali fired towards goal, Woltemade flicked the ball on to the same man and past the wrong-footed Scherpen."
Newcastle United defeated Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 at Lotto Park, recording their biggest win in the competition's group phase. Nick Woltemade scored a 17th-minute flick that deflected off Kevin Mac Allister. Anthony Gordon converted two penalties either side of half-time and Harvey Barnes scored late to seal the victory. Sandro Tonali and Anthony Elanga played key creative roles, with Tonali instrumental in the opener. The win provided Newcastle's first competition points after an opening loss to Barcelona and marked the club's first away victory in the competition since February 2003.
