Solano strike gives Magpies advantage

Partizan Belgrade 0 Newcastle 1

The midfielder claimed the only goal at the Partizan Stadium six minutes before the break, but it took fine saves from his team-mate to deny Igor Duljaj, Ivica Iliev, Nikola Malbasa and substitute Milan Stojanoski.

The Peruvian midfielder, making a club record-equalling 27th European appearance, slotted home from Laurent Robert’s cross six minutes before the break to give his side the advantage and a priceless away goal.
