He talked to afcbTV about...

THE RESULT

There have been plenty of lows, but that has to be up there with the best moment this season.

Newcastle are compact and they don't concede many, we were under no illusions it was a really tough game.

It was a really tough game, but we kept going, creating chance after chance.

It was a really difficult game to win, these are the moments you enjoy because you work so hard for them.

ON THE PASSIONATE CELEBRATIONS…

You lose yourself for a moment, to celebrate with the staff and players not on the pitch was great.

The unity was there and that’s everything, it’s huge.

ON THE SUPPORTERS…

Without a shadow they deserved it, they were sat so high and the support they gave was brilliant.
It hasn’t been an easy season and I’m delighted for them.

We grew into the game and in the second half we were the dominant team – the fans were fantastic.

ON BACK TO BACK AWAY PREMIER LEAGUE WINS…

I was pleased with the clean sheet, we showed great resilience and scoring from a set piece was really nice.

It was a great header from Steve, it is difficult to win away from home, our away record hasn't been great so hopefully back-to-back away wins can give us the momentum.
