That’s the lot for tonight. Thanks for reading. See you next week for a seismic matchday eight.

Newcastle’s Yoane Wissa speaks after a goal, an assist and a player of the match gong: “It was a good night. The target was to win today … for us it’s really good and for me it’s a special night … A goal and an assist, really pleased with that.

“It was hard work. They are tricky opponent … we scored from two mistakes … we kept them under high pressure … they like to play, so the main thing was to press them high. Really pleased with the hard work today because it’s not easy to run like this.

“It’s tricky when you join a club and get injured straight away. So yeah, you come back, you have to trust your game.

“The atmosphere was unbelievable. That’s why I joined the club. I almost cried when the music came on. Very emotional. I’m 29, I never thought I’d be here, but I’m going to enjoy every single minute.

“I always try to work hard. That’s me. When I walk out and see all the flags and listen to the music I get goosebumps. I’m grateful. I’ve come a long way. My family, my Mum and Dad are here … It’s a special night tonight. [He waves at his family up who are cheering and applauding from up in the stand.]

“PSG are the best team in Europe … we have a tough opponent [next week] … we focus on Sunday first then Paris Saint-Germain. We need a lot of belief and a lot of confidence. Playing against them you need to be strong mentally. It’s not going to be easy. But we need to be strong as a team. The main thing is to go through.”
