Gordon delighted proving Newcastle matchwinner against Man Utd

Anthony Gordon was delighted proving Newcastle United's matchwinner against Manchester United.

The winger struck on 55 minutes for the only goal of the game.

Gordon said: "It's amazing to win today. It's been a massive week for us, some good moments, some difficult moments but we came through it as a team. The same eleven played three games on the bounce and we pulled through.

"Definitely makes the result more satisfying that we pulled through with the same team. It's not just the lads that are injured, the ones that are playing have kicks and bruises, I'm limping . It's so satisfying because we know how hard we work for each other, so to get the win today is massive.

"I thought they defended really well in the first half, so we had to work out another way to get past them. It was a great goal, good passage of play from the team, some nice passes and best type of finish, a tap-in."

Gordon added: "They are the best fanbase in the country. The way we play at home compared to away is very different and it is all down to them."
