The team has done that today in a remarkable way. There are moments in season and this was one of those, after a difficult start in a stadium where we had a very tough recent record."
"We showed we can play various ways and win in a certain way. This is one of the most difficult grounds and Newcastle are a very good team, so to win in the manner that we have done it, wow what a feeling! Football is about emotion and going through things and today we had a beautiful one at the end of the match."
