Eddie Howe tells @bbcnewcastle: “The scenes at the end where the players enjoy that feeing and go to the supporters to give them stuff - that’s what you do it for. Fans were unbelievable. The journey, the cost and the time they’ll get home - hopefully it’s been worth it.” #NUFC.

Howe to @bbcnewcastle on Krafth: "What an attitude. He never, ever lets you down. He's always ready. I can't speak highly enough of him from the season when we stayed up, my first season - I thought he was absolutely huge for us. What a comeback he's made." #NUFC.

Perez says Benitez told him at HT to not drop deep: “He said ‘I don’t want you to touch a lot of balls. If you touch one ball, and it’s a goal, that’s enough for me!’ - and that’s what happened. That’s why he is so good: these little details make the difference.” #NUFC.
