Eddie Howe credited a change in attitude from his Newcastle players after they claimed a 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. (More Football News)
Bruno Guimaraes arrived late at the edge of the box to smash home in the 81st minute, not long after referee Sam Allison had ruled their first strike out for a foul.
Howe바카라s side failed to get going in the first half but he lauded their shift in mentality during a break in play where goalkeeper Martin Dubravka received treatment.
바카라I바카라m relieved. It was a very difficult opening 25 minutes, we were second best, we suffered,바카라 he said.
바카라A change of attitude from us made the difference, we were stretched and there are reasons why we weren바카라t at our best in the opening period but it was an incredible response and I think it was one of our best wins of the season.
바카라We needed to look at things differently, we were a little bit reactive, a little bit late on things and that바카라s not like us. We were lucky to come into half-time at 0-0 and that was another opportunity.바카라
Guimaraes바카라 strike put him on four for the campaign and the Brazil international battled during a scrappy affair in west London.
Howe talked up the midfielder바카라s efforts to help his side claim victory after their 1-1 draw with Everton last time out.
바카라I wax lyrical of him all the time and that바카라s because I genuinely feel it,바카라 Howe added.
바카라He바카라s got an incredible personality and you could feel that today. He had the quality on the ball to help us win the game and I thought that was a really good performance from him.바카라
Marco Silva believes Newcastle told Dubravka to go down for 바카라tactical바카라 reasons after the Slovakian keeper required treatment on two occasions.
Silva said: 바카라It was tactical. The first one is clear, there was feedback for the goalkeeper to go down. As you know, if the goalkeeper goes down the referee has to stop the game, there바카라s no way for the game to keep going, it바카라s a tactical decision from them. It is what it is.
바카라It바카라s a decision of Eddie (Howe).
바카라Newcastle tried to break our momentum with the goalkeeper (going down) twice on the grass, they were struggling in that moment and in moments of the first half.바카라
Howe acknowledged the injury allowed Newcastle to 바카라refocus and regroup바카라, insisting the keeper had felt something in his leg.
He said: 바카라Martin was feeling something in his leg. We said he has to go down if he바카라s feeling something so that gave us a chance to get the group in and that was much needed in that moment of the game.바카라
