TOON AND OUT

Newcastle battered by rampant Barca

- Lee RYDER

EDDIE Howe claimed Barcelona's penalty on the stroke of halftime was the key blow as his Newcastle side were thrashed in the Nou Camp.

Newcastle twice roared back before the break thanks to goals from Anthony Elanga, as they threatened to cause a major upset.

But after Lamine Yamal converted from the spot deep into first-half added time, Barca emerged after the break to blow away the Magpies with four unanswered goals.
