In a dominant display, Newcastle United secured a vital 3-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Goals from Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon, and Harvey Barnes propelled the Magpies to a crucial win at St James' Park. This result moves Newcastle into the top eight, setting up a decisive final group stage match against Paris Saint-Germain to determine their fate.

The victory against PSV, who were the Eredivisie league leaders, puts Newcastle in a strong position. The team now sits level on points with PSG. However, the win was somewhat soured by an injury to captain Bruno Guimaraes, who was forced off with an ankle issue. His absence would be a blow to the team's chances against tough upcoming opponents.

Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe, will be hoping Guimaraes' injury isn't serious. Wissa had a standout performance, scoring and assisting in his first Champions League start. The team will now look ahead to a Premier League clash against Aston Villa this weekend before the crucial PSG fixture. A win against PSG would guarantee their spot in the next round.
