Outstanding performance
Newcastle United•AttackerNewcastle United delivered a commanding Champions League performance, dismantling Qarabağ 6-1 in Baku with Anthony Gordon at the heart of the destruction. The English winger was simply unstoppable, netting four goals including two penalties and setting the tone early with a third-minute opener assisted by Dan Burn's through ball. Gordon's clinical finishing, combined with Malick Thiaw's header from a Kieran Trippier corner and Jacob Murphy's late strike, overwhelmed the Azerbaijani champions who managed only a consolation through Elvin Cafarquliyev. This emphatic victory showcases Newcastle's genuine Champions League credentials and maintains their momentum in what appears to be a title race, while Qarabağ will need to regroup quickly from this heavy defeat on home soil.
