Carlos Soler honoured West Ham United’s travelling supporters following their 2-0 win at St James’ Park.
On loan from Paris Saint-Germain, the midfielder had a better experience against Newcastle United earlier this week. Soler was an unused substitute when the Magpies famously crushed PSG 4-1 – a night now etched into Geordie folklore.
Tyneside hosted Champions League football for the first time in two decades and a rapturous home crowd created a bear-pit environment to welcome the Parisians. Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar produced the goods in what proved to be Newcastle’s only European win.
