Newcastle United's Harvey Barnes came off the bench to score twice and Anthony Gordon netted for the third consecutive Champions League game as the hosts beat Benfica 3-0 on Tuesday to earn back-to-back wins in the competition.

Benfica gave as good as they got in the first half, with Gordon's goal the difference between the sides, but Newcastle's second-half performance and Barnes' superb display condemned the visitors to their third defeat in three Champions League games.

The first half was a rip-roaring affair, played at a blistering pace with chances for both sides.
