Newcastle marked their first Champions League home match in 20 years with a memorable 4-1 victory over French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The Magpies side got off to an ideal start when Miguel Almiron pounced on a rebound to become the first Newcastle player to score in the Champions League since Alan Shearer found the net against Inter Milan in March 2003.

With momentum in their favour, the Premier League side doubled their advantage courtesy of Dan Burn's 39th-minute header.

Sean Longstaff added a third within five minutes of the restart, before Lucas Hernandez pulled a goal back to give PSG a lifeline.

However, there was to be no PSG comeback as Fabian Schar capped off a historic evening with an unstoppable stoppage-time strike to wrap up all three points.

While Newcastle move up to the top of Group F, PSG drop down to second place after suffering their second competitive defeat of the season.

The Magpies were given an early warning in the fifth minute when Ousmane Dembele fizzed his volley wide from Kylian Mbappe's inch-perfect delivery.

That momentary scare proved to be the visitors' best chance of the first period, as the hosts quickly asserted their authority to take the lead in the 17th minute.

Gianluigi Donnarumma made a fine stop to keep out Alexander Isak after Marquinhos had gifted possession away, but the PSG goalkeeper could not prevent Almiron from tucking home the rebound to net his third goal in four appearances.

Newcastle continued to push forward and went close to doubling their advantage when Schar fired wide from Kieran Trippier's corner.

The Magpies' persistence and determination was ultimately rewarded with a second goal in the closing stage of the first period.

Donnarumma made two fine stops in quick succession, before Burn squeezed his header over the line from Bruno Guimaraes's lofted cross.

After seeing one boyhood Newcastle fan find the net before the break, the home faithful celebrated another goal from one of their own in the 50th minute when Longstaff drove his shot under Donnarumma's right arm.

Within six minutes of Longstaff scoring his first Champions League goal, PSG pulled a goal back through Hernandez, who produced a deft header from Warren Zaire-Emery's floated pass.

The Parisians threatened to halve the deficit when Dembele saw his powerful shot beaten away by Nick Pope, but Newcastle stood firm during PSG's brightest spell of the game to quash any hopes of a comeback.

A flawless Newcastle display was capped off in stoppage time, as Schar played a one-two with Jacob Murphy before whipping a long-range effort past the outstretched Donnarumma.

Once Newcastle finish celebrating a famous win, they will turn their attention to Sunday's Premier League meeting with West Ham United, while PSG will look to bounce back against Rennes in Ligue 1.
