Miguel Almiron scored an absolute thunderbolt after 17 minutes to fire Newcastle in front at St James’ Park before Dan Burn added a second shortly before half-time following a lengthy VAR check.

Newcastle’s dominance continued into the second half with Sean Longstaff making it 3-0 in the 50th minute. Lucas Hernandez pulled one back for the visitors six minutes later but PSG could not find another goal. Fabian Schar’s 91st-minute effort then killed off any chance of a late comeback from PSG.

Following the game, it has been revealed that Newcastle’s 4-1 win over PSG was the Mapgies’ biggest-ever winning margin in a Champions League match, and heaviest group stage defeat for the French club in the competition since a 0-3 loss to Chelsea in September 2004.

Elsewhere, Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff’s strikes ment Newcastle had two different English goalscorers in a single Champions League game for a second time, after December 1997 v Dynamo Kyiv (John Barnes and Stuart Pearce).
