That’s it for today. I’ll leave you with Louise Taylor’s report from St James’ Park – goodnight!
Post-match reaction
Dan Burn
Yeah, really special. For a long time we’ve always disliked Man Utd as Newcastle fans, so we owed them one this season. We’ve always wanted to beat Man Utd. It was a great performance and we’re glad to get the win and the clean sheet. Antony’s very skilful and has given us a few good games, but when I play at home I have that extra emotion – it goes a little too far sometimes!
Tht was a big result today and gives us a really good chance [of Champions League football]. Our next three games are away so it’s about recovering and going again.
Callum Wilson
[Was it about revenge?] Yeah I think we’re disappointed with the final. We knew it had gone but it left a sour taste and we had to put it right today. Our fans deserved that. As a striker all you can do is respond [to being left out] and put yourself forward. No one likes to be on the bench, especially strikers. When you get called upon, I think that’s the perfect way to respond.
