Pardew says Newcastle going for goals in Ukraine

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew says they'll be going for goals tonight at Europa League opponents Metalist Kharkiv.

Having drawn the first leg at St James' Park 0-0, Pardew concedes that Metalist could be regarded as slight favourites, but the fact a score draw at will send the Magpies into the draw is a cause for optimism.

He said: "We have come here to qualify. I think it is 50-50.

"The fact they did not score has given us a slight advantage but, of course, they are at home.

"Our game-plan is to score goals tomorrow."
