PSV captain Jerdi Schouten could only help Pope clear into his own goal in the 65th minute, but he ran towards the ball with good tempo and fired his 12th powerful shot of the season past the stranded Kovar.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pat-nevin-wowed-by-quot-intelligent-quot-newcastle-star\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pat_Nevin_admires_%E2%80%98intelligent_Newcastle_star\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Pat Nevin admires &#8216;intelligent&#8217; Newcastle star<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everything was refreshingly simple for the Magpies as they returned to winning ways in style in the Champions League.
