Bruno said afterwards: "We scored in key moments of the game. What a header from Dan Burn. When I first saw him head the ball, I thought he was trying to pass to someone! But we had to keep going after that."

Meanwhile, Tonali also stated:  "We deserved this win, it was a very tough week after West Ham. These three points are massive for Newcastle. Now we have nine points and are in an excellent position in the table. We played not just for tonight, but for our last game too."

On Burn's goal, Tonali added: "I'm really happy for him. What a header. It was a power shot! He's everywhere for us on the pitch – centre-back, left-back, left wing. I’m happy for him."
