Newcastle Secures 2-1 Victory Over Valencia in Pre-Season Match

Newcastle United achieved a 2-1 comeback victory against Valencia in a pre-season friendly at the Mestalla, marking a successful debut for coach Matthias Jaissle.

Substitute Yoane Wissa scored both goals for Newcastle in the second half after Valencia's Filip Ugrinic opened the scoring early in the match. The game took a turn when Anthony Elanga was stretchered off following a serious tackle by Jose Gaya, although his injury was later deemed not serious.

Jaissle expressed relief regarding Elanga's condition and noted the positive impact of his half-time substitutions, which included new signings Bazoumana Toure and Sean Steur. The win also provided some comfort to Newcastle following the loss of captain Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal earlier that day.
