Newcastle United staged a friendly in Dubai to end their week-long stay on a high in the Middle East. A 5-0 win against Gulf United at the NAS Sports Complex completed the week's events in the sunshine.
With the game very much of a practice match nature Newcastle's victory came against old boy Steven Taylor who is now manager of the Gulf side. The match was played in scorching temperatures and lasted just an hour with regular water breaks.
Eddie Howe watched on as Allan Saint-Maximin scored twice and Dwight Gayle helped himself to a brace. And there was also a goal for Joelinton in the emphatic victory.
