Wissa double gives Newcastle boss Jaissle winning start at 10-man Valencia
Newcastle secured a 2-1 victory over Valencia with Yoane Wissa netting both goals, giving new manager Matthias Jaissle a winning start. Valencia played the majority of the match with 10 men after a red card. The result was marred by a concerning injury to Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga, who was stretchered off the pitch. The match appears to be part of pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.
