Jamaal Lascelles completed a journey from the brink of Premier League disaster to European football\u2019s top table as he led Newcastle to a stunning Champions League victory over Paris St Germain.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old defender was one of three men in the Magpies\u2019 starting line-up for Wednesday night\u2019s remarkable 4-1 Group F victory over the French champions at St James\u2019 Park, who was also in the XI for head coach Eddie Howe\u2019s first game in charge in November 2021, a 3-3 league draw with Brentford.<\/p>\n

At that point the club, which had just been taken over by Amanda Staveley\u2019s Saudi-backed consortium, sat in 19th place in the table, but has since invested around \u00a3370million in new players, a recruitment drive which has seen club captain Lascelles slip down the pecking order until an injury to Sven Botman threw him back into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Asked about club captain Lascelles\u2019 performance against PSG, Howe said: \u201cI\u2019m so pleased for Jamaal. I said countless times last year how good his attitude was, how well he trained, how good he\u2019d been for the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut ultimately he\u2019s desperate to show how good he is on the pitch. The biggest compliment I can pay him is that he\u2019s stepped in and he\u2019s really stepped up to the challenge and I think he\u2019s performed really, really well in the last group of games that we\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had to train so well to continue to develop his game when he wasn\u2019t playing and my inner belief was always that he could improve with the team even though he wasn\u2019t in the starting XI, and his game was in a really good place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he proved that tonight, so we\u2019re delighted for him. It\u2019s a real testament to his attitude and his character.\u201d<\/p>\n

To score four goals wasn’t necessarily something that we expected to do. It’s a very special night<\/p>\n

Lascelles, who had joined Newcastle in a joint deal with keeper Karl Darlow in August 2014, emerged as a leader from the wreckage of the club\u2019s slip into the Sky Bet Championship in 2016, providing a defiant voice in the dressing room as a 22-year-old to prompt then-manager Rafael Benitez to hand him the armband.<\/p>\n

He helped Benitez\u2019s side to win promotion at the first attempt, but has found his chances limited since the influx of signings under the new owners, with Kieran Trippier deputising as captain in his absence.<\/p>\n

However, he was a rock at the heart of a team which dumped treble-winners Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup last Wednesday evening and similarly resolute as Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani came calling a week later.<\/p>\n

That provided the foundation upon which a famous victory was built courtesy of goals from Miguel Almiron, Sean Longstaff, Dan Burn and \u2013 after Lucas Hernandez had pulled one back \u2013 Fabian Schar.<\/p>\n

Asked if that kind of result had featured even in his wildest dreams, Howe said: \u201cI thought it was an even game. I thought they had some moments where they hurt us, I thought we had some moments where we hurt them.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut to score four goals wasn\u2019t necessarily something that we expected to do, but I\u2019m just delighted that we were able to do that in front of our supporters. It\u2019s a very special night.\u201d<\/p>\n
