Yoane Wissa scored this first-ever European goal as Newcastle United defeated PSV Eindhoven 3-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, Afrosport reports.
The DR Congo forward has gradually been making his way into the Magpies squad after returning from a knee injury that kept him out since the September international break and prevented him from making his debut since his summer transfer deadline day move from Brentford.
He put Newcastle in front after eight minutes having been nicely set up by Joelinton. Wissa turned provider in the 30th minute as he fed Anthony Gordon to put the ball into an empty net.
Harvey Barnes scored the final goal in the 65th minute to hand Newcastle their fourth win in seven Champions League games this season, and leaves them in seventh on the table with one round of fixture in the league phase left to play.
