LOTTO PARK — Just in the Nick of time, a win with the potential to breathe new life into Newcastle United’s season.
With each Champions League win worth £1.8m, a man-of-the-match performance against Union Saint-Gilloise represents the first downpayment on a fee that has left Rummenigge clutching his pearls.
The deftest of first-half flicks to divert Sandro Tonali’s drive past Kjell Scherpen was Woltemade’s headline contribution, but his overall performance was excellent here, threading together Newcastle’s play in the final third while providing a crucial outlet ball.

— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) October 1, 2025For all the warnings that Woltemade would take time to settle, he now has three goals from four starts at Newcastle. It’s also three goals from the only three chances he’s had for a team still learning to anticipate his runs and movement.
What felt like a potential banana skin before the game turned out to be a seriously accomplished European away day for Eddie Howe.
For all the focus on their misfiring attack, the defensive fundamentals look pretty sound. Nick Pope repelled anything the hosts could throw at him while Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman have the look of a handy defensive partnership.
They will face bigger tests – especially at this level – but a Union Saint-Gilloise front three that enjoyed themselves on match day one against PSV Eindhoven never really threatened a breakthrough.

Given their woes up front, though, it felt significant that Anthony Gordon got so much joy. His two goals might have been penalties – the second after VAR spotted a handball by the hapless Fedde Leysen – but there was a conviction about his attacking play and a diligence about his defensive work. More of this please.
He has shown flashes of the dynamism that convinced Howe he could take Newcastle to the next level but this was undoubtedly the most dangerous he has looked over a full game.
His cross in the build-up to the first goal was excellent and it was his arrowing run that won the penalty that put first half daylight between Newcastle and their Belgian hosts.
