Newcastle striker Isak: PSG equaliser unfortunate

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak admitted frustration after their 1-1 draw at PSG.

Kylian Mbappe's penalty on 98 minutes canceled out Isak's opener for the visitors, though Newcastle's Champions League round 16 hopes are alive.

Isak said, "Unfortunate for us to get a goal against us so late. I think we started defending our goal a bit too early. It's never nice to concede a goal that late.

"My first reaction was it wasn't [a penalty]. It seemed cheap. I haven't seen a replay. Hopefully it was a penalty. We have to trust the referees.

"We are very proud of the team. It's not an easy place to come. They haven't lost for some time here.

"We almost got the win. It is unfortunate. We always want to win, but this point will be important. We have it all to play for."
