Watch: No looking back for Newcastle after Burn's header
Dan Burn helped Newcastle United seal their first Champions League win in over 20 years, scoring in a 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in front of a raucous St. James' Park.
Miguel Almiron got the party started early, netting the opening goal after a sloppy giveaway from defender Marquinhos in the 17th minute.
Then it was local boy Burn's turn to give the Geordies another reason to cheer. After a wild scramble in front of the PSG net, a cross to the towering defender saw Burn deliver a header in which VAR later adjudged to have crossed the line despite goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's save attempt.

Sean Longstaff, another local lad, made it 3-0 in the 50th minute thanks to poor goalkeeping from Donnarumma before PSG grabbed a goal back courtesy of Lucas Hernandez's header past Nick Pope.
Then, with the game almost over, Fabian Schar scored Newcastle's fourth goal after his long-range effort curled into the PSG goal, ensuring a famous win for the hosts and a night to forget for Kylian Mbappe and the struggling French team.
