“A properly deserved three factors, clearly, in my view.
“Nice work from the lads, an important response from ourselves.
“I don’t just like the phrase ‘unfortunate,’ however we had been not likely lucky within the final video games in opposition to Preston and West Ham, however what a response from ourselves, the way in which we did it first half was nearly sensible.
“Excellent first half from us.
“The way in which we began, the way in which we performed, the way in which we had been dominant throughout the recreation, the way in which we created possibilities.
“We scored twice, we must always have scored extra within the first half.
“Newcastle had one likelihood earlier than our objective, it’s true, however other than that, nothing.
“We had been at all times in a superb place, properly organised as properly, gave nothing for them.

“We took a bit little bit of time to reorganise, to set ourselves up once more. They managed the sport, on the ball, that’s true, second half.
“We didn’t have as a lot possession as we prefer to have, however the actuality is that other than one second on the counter-attack with Anthony Gordon, they didn’t actually create something throughout that interval.
“We had two possibilities to attain with Alex Iwobi, when he had simply the goalkeeper in entrance of him, and one other on the far submit on the appropriate facet. Rodrigo had one other likelihood, too.
