GOODNIGHT ALL
A big night in the Premier League relegation fight.
Final scores:
Newcastle United 1-1 Norwich City
Leeds United 1-0 Crystal Palace
Coming away from home, putting in a performance like that and creating chances, we certainly should have got something out of the game – or maybe even taken three points.
“I think our performance was a positive performance. Away to Leeds is going to be a tough evening, but we matched them all over the pitch and created better chances.
Joel Ward
We created chances in the first half and I thought a goal was going to come sooner rather than later.
The way we’ve been playing, we are getting better each week.
It’s a massive win for us. We are very happy in there. We need to go on a little run of games now. We just need to knuckle down and keep on working hard.
Kalvin Phillips
NEWCASTLE 1-1 NORWICH
Reactions coming from St James Park now.
As you can see, both teams felt the shared point was unjust.
Reactions from Elland Road now.
It’s a missed opportunity. We defended brilliantly throughout. Everyone to a man worked their socks off today. It’s unfortunate the red card early doors gave us a mountain to climb.
“We felt we deserved the three points.
Jonjo Shelvey
We’ve taken all responsibility away from the on-pitch official. He didn’t feel it was unnatural. If it takes him 90 seconds to see whether it’s close enough – it’s pathetic for me.
“We’ve managed to go three unbeaten, but we feel we’ve lost two points here today, given the circumstances.
Dean Smith
I thought the crowd would get us over the line. I felt the players showed real resilience, which we’re going to need for the upcoming matches.
The challenge ahead is huge. We’re under no illusions as to the size of the task we face. We need to get the wins we need – draws aren’t going to be enough. You need the spirit in the group to deliver what we need. I feel the spirit has grown and that’s going to be key for us.
