Vote for your Newcastle United Player of the Match after Qarabağ win

Vote for your Newcastle United Player of the Match after Qarabağ win

The Magpies were off to a flying start, racing into a two-goal lead in the sixth minute of the St. James' Park clash.

Sandro Tonali found the net from close range to open the scoring, before Joelinton powered home a volley moments later to double the home side's advantage. Both midfielders impressed throughout, with Tonali covering every blade of grass and Joelinton proving a nuisance to his opposite numbers.

Sven Botman restored United's two-goal lead shortly after Camilo Duran found the net for Qarabağ, heading home from a corner at the Gallowgate End. The Dutchman was another goalscorer who impressed before his second-half substitution.

Despite the substantial lead held by Newcastle, goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was busy throughout and made some smart saves, including from a Qarabağ penalty which was subsequently turned in on the rebound.
