Newcastle United secured a 3-0 Champions League victory over PSV Eindhoven at St James' Park on Wednesday. Yoane Wissa scored his first goal in the competition for the club, inspiring the Magpies. Manager Eddie Howe commented that Wissa came to Newcastle "for these nights".
Wissa opened the scoring in the eighth minute, converting from close range after a defensive error by PSV. Anthony Gordon doubled Newcastle's lead before half-time, also capitalising on a mistake from the Dutch side. Harvey Barnes completed the scoring in the second half, ensuring a comfortable win.
The result guarantees Newcastle at least a play-off berth in the competition's knockout stages. However, captain Bruno Guimaraes sustained an ankle injury before the interval, a significant concern for the club ahead of upcoming fixtures. Newcastle will now travel to face Paris Saint-Germain in their final group stage match.
