Newcastle United recorded a 5-0 win over Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal - with Joelinton and Miguel Almiron both netting braces.
Joelinton opened the scoring and added a second before withdrawing on the hour-mark. Almiron, on at half-time, continued his fine form to make it 4-0.
Magpies under-23s striker Dylan Stephenson addded a fifth in the costing stages to wrap up a comprehensive victory.
