Newcastle’s beaming squad then posed all together for a celebratory team photo.
The result saw the Toon climb to the top of a tough group also including AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund.
Boss Howe was thrilled with his side’s performance, saying after the match: “I’m so pleased with the players for what they gave tonight.
“It was a difficult game tactically, PSG try to play from the back, so we had to unbalance and unsettle them.
“We were man for man at the back against elite players and they had some moments when they hurt us in what, I thought, was an even game but our goals came at good moments.
“To score four times against PSG in front of our supporters made it a really special night. The atmosphere was very special; I can’t thank our fans enough.
“In Milan in the last game there was an element of us not quite hitting our levels but tonight gives us the belief we need to be successful. But it’s only a small step.”
