The Magpies made a strong start to the game and they were ahead with just four minutes on the clock. Ayoze Perez side-footed the ball at the near post from Javier Manquillo's cross to give his side an early lead.

The hosts doubled their lead in the 12th minute as Christian Atsu latched on to Jonjo Shelvey's ball to squeeze it past the keeper in the Verona goal.
