Sheffield United was brutally defeated 8-0 by Newcastle United on Sunday at Bramall Lane, with eight different players scoring to send the host team to the bottom of the Premier League standings.
After their first Champions League game in 20 years—a goalless draw away at AC Milan—Newcastle shown no signs of jet lag and went into halftime with a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Sean Longstaff, Dan Burn, and Sven Botman.
Similar events transpired in the second half as Anthony Gordon curled in Newcastle’s fifth goal from outside the box and Kieran Trippier registered his third assist, prompting Blades supporters to leave the stadium around the hour mark.
There was no relief as Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes took advantage of careless defending to make it 7-0 before replacement Alexander Isak added a late goal to put Eddie Howe’s team in seventh place.
