Bellamy bags brace as Magpies hit top gear

Newcastle 5 NAC Breda 0

Craig Bellamy's first-half double his first goals for the club since March 22 put them in the driving seat before Titus Bramble, Alan Shearer and substitute Darren Ambrose completed the rout.

The 24-year-old Welsh international, who had not scored in 10 games for his club , struck with a fine lob on 31 minutes and then sidefooted home six minutes later to put Sir Bobby Robson's side in the driving seat.
