NEWCASTLE DEMOLISH PSG AND MBAPPE ON UCL RETURN TO ST JAMES' PARK
Local duo Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff were on target as Newcastle United ensured there was a triumphant return of UEFA Champions League football at St James’ Park courtesy of a magnificent 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain.
The Magpies were playing their first match in the competition on home turf in 20 years and responded to the electric energy of the Geordie faithful with a powerful performance that left Kylian Mbappe and Co largely frustrated.
Miguel Almiron set the ball rolling on 17 minutes when he swept in a rebound to punish slack play at the back from the visitors after Gianluigi Donnarumma had parried Alexander Isak’s thumping strike.
Eddie Howe’s men then turned a strong first 45 into a dream one as Burn nodded in Bruno Guimaraes’ cross from the left byline with the goal eventually given following a lengthy VAR check.
It got even better for the hosts five minutes into the second period as another local lad, Longstaff got in on the act with a low shot from the right side of the area that somehow squirmed underneath Donnarumma.
PSG eventually found offered some semblance of a threat when Lucas Hernandez nodded in, but the Magpies remained composed late on and sealed it in stoppage time when Fabian Schar crashed home a stunning shot into the top corner.
The result sees Newcastle top Group F with four points from two outings. PSG are second on three points with AC Milan on two and Dortmund on one.
