Newcastle United manager, Eddie Howe, speaking to TNT Sports:

On the performance: "Really good performance from us. A difficult opponent, tactically they are tough to play against.

"We were rewarded with some really good goals today. Really good night for Yoane Wissa and I am really pleased for him. In part he came to this club for nights like today. The players embraced the challenge and I thought it was the best individual performances from a lot of the players for a while.

"A lot of the players have excelled in this competition this year and Anthony Gordon is one of those."

On the final game against Paris Saint-Germain: "It is what we have to try to do. One step at a time, it is Aston Villa first. Premier League is so important and a really tough game."

On Lewis Miley receiving the captain's armband from Kieran Trippier: "It was unscripted and unplanned, typical Kieran - thinking of other people. A great moment for Lewis."
