Eddie Howe hails ‘special night’ on Tyneside after Newcastle thrash PSG

Eddie Howe said he hoped that his Newcastle team had experienced the first of a 'lot of very special nights like this' after they beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 in their first Champions League game at St James’ Park for 20 years.Subscribe to Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/GuardianFootball

Luis Enrique’s decision to field four forwards left the visiting manager’s midfield frequently overrun, as Miguel Almirón, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schär scored the goals to lift Newcastle to the top of Group F.

'I’m so pleased with the players for what they gave tonight,' said Howe. 'It was a difficult game tactically, PSG try to play from the back, so we had to unbalance and unsettle them. We were man for man at the back against elite players and they had some moments when they hurt us in what, I thought, was an even game but our goals came at good moments. To score four times against PSG in front of our supporters made it a really special night. The atmosphere was very special; I can’t thank our fans enough.'
