Harvey Barnes scored twice off the bench and Anthony Gordon scored his third straight Champions League goal as Newcastle secured back-to-back wins in the competition.
- On Tuesday, Newcastle United beat Benfica 3-0 at St James' Park with Anthony Gordon scoring for the third consecutive Champions League game.
- After a fast-paced first half, Newcastle seized control in the second half as a stray pass in Benfica’s half and Bruno Guimaraes’ pass to Jacob Murphy created a key chance.
- Nick Pope's long throw launched the decisive move as substitute Harvey Barnes finished it and added a second in the 83rd minute, reaching three goals in Europe this season.
- The result delivers consecutive Champions League wins and boosts Newcastle United's group prospects, while Benfica has now lost all three group matches.
- Eddie Howe said the performance builds confidence as the team looks for consistency, and Anthony Gordon told TNT Sports, `It means everything, but we need more, my ambition doesn't stop there`.
