📸 Can't (n)ick it: Confusion over Woltemade's first Champions League goal | OneFootball

At VfB Stuttgart, Nick Woltemade didn't even make it into the CL squad last season, but for Newcastle, he scored directly in his first starting lineup appearance today. Well, at least the goal was credited to him.

It is also reliably reported that the Magpies took the lead against Union Saint-Gilloise in the 17th minute.

Sandro Tonali seemed to have put his team ahead. His employer apparently thought so too and congratulated him warmly.

However, Woltemade apparently got a heel on the Italian's shot, deflecting it unerringly.

The eagle-eyed officials at UEFA didn't miss this, so they credited the goal to the German international. A debut goal that Woltemade will surely never forget and was able to crown with a victory. His teammates Anthony Gordon (43rd, 64th) and Harvey Barnes (80th) rounded off a 4-0 win.
