Newcastle United are leading Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Champions League at half-time - here are the player ratings from the match so far.
Eddie Howe named an unchanged side from Saturday's 4-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League with the hope of a repeat performance against the Ligue 1 champions at Parc des Princes.
The first chance of the match fell PSG's way as Fabian Ruiz volleyed over the Newcastle crossbar from close range with less than four minutes on the clock. Kylian Mbappe also saw a good opportunity saved by Nick Pope.
At the other end, Alexander Isak squandered a great chance to score his first Champions League goal of the season after he fired over from Miguel Almiron's low ball into the box. The Swede made no mistake with his second attempt as he was in the right place at the right time to poke in Almiron's parried shot to give Newcastle the lead.
It was Newcastle's first Champions League away goal of the season and first away goal in the competition since Alan Shearer against AC Milan at the San Siro in 2003.
Newcastle were able to hold on to their 1-0 advantage until half time. Here are the half-time ratings from the match so far...

9. Miguel Almiron - 8
Showed great tenacity to win the ball and set up Isak early on. A real positive influence on the side to relieve some pressure. Played an important role in the opening goal with his shot being parried into Isak's path. Faded after the break as Newcastle tired. Booked. | AFP via Getty Images

10. Anthony Gordon - 6
Tried to make things happen and be positive, but kept giving the ball away. Must be better in possession. Was fortunate to avoid conceding a penalty after a VAR check. A frustrating evening on a personal note but put in a strong defensive shift. | AFP via Getty Images

11. Alexander Isak - 7
Should have opened the scoring from close range after being set-up by Almiron. Could make no mistake with his second attempt as he scored Newcastle's first Champions League away goal in over 20 years. Much like the Chelsea match, he did little but score - a vital contribution. | AFP via Getty Images
