Gus Poyet: “I know how to enjoy things and sometimes you cannot control yourself.
“I remember when we scored the second goal against Newcastle at home in October, I lost it a little bit.
“We needed that goal, that win, so much.
“And in this game at St James’s you know the game is still open if it is only 2-0.
“If they had scored one goal, there would have been so much pressure but when we got the third, especially so late, you finally feel you’re there and that’s why the release.
“I tried to keep my calm in the game but it is definitely up to the players.
“The players are the ones who have to go there and mark and pass the ball well, be brave and be solid.
“Look at Liam Bridcutt making his debut.
“People were saying, ‘How is he going to do in the Premier League?’
“But there you go. He came here was solid and calm, and passed the ball well and that’s what we need.
“Sometimes it’s a little bit of training, and sometimes it’s about having the right players in the right places in the team and this looks like a proper team now.”
