Eddie Gau’s team confidently won in the 7th round and keeps the chances of a direct exit to the 1/8 finals.
Newcastle United – PSV, Getty Images January 22, 2026, 00:10
The hosts opened the scoring in the 8th minute, taking advantage of a mistake by the guests. An unsuccessful pass from Matej Kovarzh was intercepted by Bruno Guimaraes, who instantly put Joelinton in a striking position, and he assisted Yoan Wiss – the forward coolly put the ball over the goalkeeper.
In the 30th minute, Newcastle doubled their lead after another blunder by PSV’s defense. Ioan Wissa forced Jarek Gaserowski to fight and rolled the ball into the empty net for Anthony Gordon. For the winger, this goal became the sixth in the current Champions League draw – he repeated Alan Shearer’s club record.
After the break, Eddie Gow’s team brought things to a rout. In the 65th minute, Harvey Barnes punished PSV for poor second-floor play from visiting captain Jerdi Schouten, beating a defender and slotting home from close range.
Despite the convincing win, Newcastle suffered a personnel loss with Bruno Guimaraes substituted due to ankle problems. However, the English club rose to the seventh place in the tournament table and in the final round will keep the chances of a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals in the match against PSG in Paris. After the defeat, PSV fell to the 22nd position.
