Speaking after his side’s victory, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said: “It feels great [to win], I never worried about the draw I always thought it was a great draw - as long as we won it.

“We handled the occasion well, were brave with the ball and were very composed. We didn't let the crowd take over and we handled everything really well in the first half.”

He added: “I think we are still a bit off our best but it was a step in the right direction, hopefully the forward momentum can continue.

“The bigger the game, the more you enjoy it if you win. We enjoyed the occasion, nothing new for us in terms of the atmosphere or the high profile game. But today we knew the importance of the result. Hopefully it can be a launch pad for us.”
