Howe will hope for his side to get off the mark in the Champions League in BelgiumGetty Anthony Gordon scored Newcastle’s consolation goal in their 2-1 defeat to Barcelona on MD1. The last Newcastle player to score in their first two matches in a major European campaign was Patrick Kluivert in 2004-05 in the UEFA Cup. The last Belgian side to lose their first home match in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League was K. Lierse SK in October 1960 (0-3 v Barcelona).

Newcastle boss Howe is hopeful that playing in Europe will help his side to move on from defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
He said: “The change of competition is possibly a good thing for us.
“We can just leave the Premier League behind and just focus on the Champions League and try to get that campaign up and running.
“It’s been a tough opening to the season for us; it feels like we’ve taken some blows.
“But if we can be resilient enough to absorb those blows and come back stronger, we’ll be better for it.”
