Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe shared his thoughts after a commanding 3–0 win over Benfica on Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26.
Howe praised his side’s performance at St. James’ Park, highlighting the team’s attacking intent, the clinical finishing from Harvey Barnes, and an “unbelievable” long throw assist from Nick Pope that led to the second goal.
Anthony Gordon earned special recognition for his direct, athletic display on the wing, while Lewis Miley was lauded for his maturity and intelligence stepping in for the unavailable Sandro Tonali.
