Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, speaking to TNT Sports: "Really pleased with today. It was an important response to West Ham. We had a quick turnaround for this game.
"I don't think it was us at our best but we're in a good position now in this competition.
"We learn a lot. This format is really good, more games but it's a bigger test when you return to the Premier League. It's been good to have a game off the back of West Ham, we've put that away and we scored two goals.
On Dan Burn's header: "It was very reminiscent of the cup final. It was from distance. It was a training ground move so well done to all the coaches involved in that.
On Joelinton scoring: "Joelinton needs to score. He's always been a scorer of big goals for us. We've worked on it. We need our eights and wide men to start chipping in.
On their Champions League form: "Across the board, it's consistency in our performance wherever we play. Now we go away in the Champions League. Marseille away will be incredibly difficult."
Defender Dan Burn, also speaking to TNT Sports: "It's huge. We said we wanted to respond. I knew we would turn up today. We controlled large parts of it. We've got nine points now.
"I've been due one for a while, and then when it came in, I decided I would head it as hard as I could. We've been working on it. We knew I'd have some space around the back. At least it was a good header.
"They pressed really well. We were surprised. We thought they would sit in more. Second half, we wanted to stretch it more. I'm buzzing for Joey [Joelinton], he's been due a goal like me.
"I said I love playing centre-back, it's my best position. I like playing left-back, I get to go up and down but it's tougher on the legs.
"We had to win our home games. We were unlucky in the Barcelona one. We have some away ones coming up now."
Did you know?
- Newcastle have equalled their longest winning streak in the Champions League, winning three matches in a row for just the second time (previously a three-game run in October/November 2002).
- Both of Dan Burn's goals in the Champions League have been scored via headers (v Paris Saint-Germain and Athletic Club) – he is just the third Newcastle player to score multiple headers in the competition, along with Alan Shearer and Faustino Asprilla (two each).
