Gordon ultimately had the final say and successfully converted the penalty in Newcastle's 4-0 victory.

Howe appreciated the passion displayed by Woltemade in the situation, saying, "I love it! The best strikers I've worked with want to score. Even if there's a directive, they don't care; they want to score."

Howe also praised Woltemade's performance, stating, "His potential is high. There are certain things we want to get more from him."

Howe noted that the Premier League's physical demands will require Woltemade to cover more distance and maintain a high level of intensity over long periods of time.

He highlighted Woltemade's technical ability, goal-scoring knack, and physical presence as standout qualities, adding that the striker can continue to improve with experience.

Howe expressed enthusiasm for Woltemade's start and his willingness to work and improve, saying, "I think it's an exciting start for him and he's done really, really well."
