Nick Woltemade answered Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s “idiot” jibe in perfect style as he scored for the third time in four games as Newcastle cruised to a 4-0 victory at Union Saint-Gilloise.

The 23-year-old, whose club record £69million transfer fee was heavily criticised by the Bayern Munich executive in the run-up to the game, scored with a clever 17th-minute flick which went in off defender Kevin Mac Allister as the Magpies secured their biggest win in the competition’s group phase.
