Trippier’s corner from the left. It’s not a bad one. Good header down. Blocked by the keeper. Dan Burn at the back stick. Arshes from halfway into the penalty area. Murphy climbs to head it, but he only finds a red shirt. And now it’s Luka Bakio. What an effort to the outside of the post. Well, we all know that Otto Mendy going backwards with it every pass Benfica. Now they play it forwards. Aish into the middle. Chiao’s got it. And Bruno trying to get Murphy in behind. He has. Murphy’s cross. Gordon. Anthony Gordon. His fourth Champions League goal of the season. Tapping in at the back post getting on the end of the cross and making it Newcastle United one. Benfica nil. Yeah, he’s gone for a big throw. Quick throw. Looking for Barnes. Oh, it’s found him. Harvey Bonds. Can he take it all the way into the area? Barnes. Oh, it’s magnificent. Rick Pope with a huge throw. It’s got most of the length of the pitch and Barnes got on the end of it, drove on into the penalty area and just as he did in Brussels, Harvey Barnes has come off the bench to score in the Champions League. They’ve got that crucial second goal. 90 plus minutes in Paris two years ago, but it’s more penalty confusion involving Newcastle, Gordon, and Baltimore. Beautiful link up and Harvey Barnes in for a third goal. Yes. Yes. Harvey Barnes. That’s absolutely brilliant football by Newcastle. Baltimore with a flick back to Gordon and a threaded through ball for Barnes who not met the goalkeeper. Trippier here away from Pavis. And now Will to Osula on the edge of the penalty area and Joah Linton sidesteps his man. Joah Linton. Good. Good effort and a good save by Troubine who got two firm hands behind it. Show Linton don’t think it was quite in the corner, but it was well struck.
