Newcastle 2-0 Fiorentina: Eddie Howe's Magpies cruise to victory thanks to goals from Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak at St James' Park

Newcastle United defeated Fiorentina 2-0 on a damp afternoon at St James' Park to record their fourth win of pre-season.

The Tyneside club lay host to the inaugural Sela Cup this year with Villareal and Nice drawing 1-1 in the other game earlier today.

Goals from Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak proved to be the decider as Newcastle comfortably turned over their Italian opposition.

Almiron got the opener at the quarter-way mark as he met a well-placed pass from Isak to beat Michele Cerofolini in the Fiorentina net.
