In the 4-1 victory over PSG on Wednesday, Newcastle recorded eight shots on target despite maintaining possession for just 26% of the match. Miguel Almiron opened the scoring for the Magpies in the 17th minute, which sent St. James' Park into a frenzy. Almiron has scored 22 goals in the Premier League since joining Newcastle from Atlanta United.

West Ham's two goals came from Jarrod Bowen at minute 24 and Tomas Soucek at minute 37. Bowen has already racked up five goals and an assist in his first seven Premier League games this season.
