Newcastle United boss pleased with win over Huddersfield Town
Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has heaped praise on the team after they secured a 2-0 triumph over Huddersfield Town on Saturday. The Magpies missed the chance to claim maximum points in the previous gameweek against Wolverhampton Wanderers but they managed to respond with a strong showing against the league’s bottom side.
Speaking after the game, Benitez was really pleased with the performance from the Magpies, who managed to curb the early threat from the visitors to dominate the proceedings, he told Sky Sports: "I was really pleased with the performance of the players. Obviously it was more difficult for them with ten players, but they still had chances at the beginning. We created a lot of chances - I think we hit the crossbar or the post four times. We needed to win, and we won well. It does not matter for me whether we pick up three points at home or away, but as we play Burnley next at home, hopefully we can carry our good home run."
