Eddie Howe reacts to Newcastle United win - and Champions League progression

Newcastle United head into the final game day in the Champions League top eight - and they know a win should take them through to the last 16.

Obviously, standing in their way, is last season’s Champions League winners, Paris Saint-Germain.

Newcastle made light work of Dutch side PSV Eindhoven at St James’ Park in game week seven. A goal on his full Champions League debut from Yoane Wissa set the Magpies on their way before Anthony Gordon doubled the lead in the first half. After the break Harvey Barnes added a third, to see United climb to seventh in the league stage table.

And here’s how head coach Eddie Howe reacted to the victory.
