Substitute Harvey Barnes scored twice as Newcastle boosted their hopes of making it to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Benfica.
Anthony Gordon set the Magpies on their way with his fourth goal in three game’s in this season’s competition, but it was Barnes, a 63rd-minute replacement for the excellent Jacob Murphy, who sealed the points with assured 71st and 83rd-minute finishes to hand head coach Eddie Howe just a second win in nine attempts over opposite number Jose Mourinho.
