Newcastle United boss reflects on win vs United
At the post game ceremony, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe revealed that the team never lost trust and believed that they could win the game despite being one player short.
“Today we’ve started the game really well and then of course we get a red card. That would have been an easy feeling for the lads to adopt, to feel sorry for ourselves, here we go again. That’s the biggest compliment I can give the lads. They’ve really stood up in that second half and they’ve all given more," said Howe.
He later added that this is the best feeling as the end of the game was extremely amazing.
"They’ve all believed that we can win the game. It’s a brilliant end to the game. It’s one of the best emotions that I think I’ve felt and I’m sure a lot of people will say the same. But also, we haven’t done that enough. Hopefully that’s a goal that’s replayed quite a bit because I think we all deserved it.”
