""It was weird, very up and down," he told Sky Sports. "I don't think we were by any means at our best, but then the way the game finishes, the feeling now, you don't really care about the performance - it's more the result. "I don't really remember it [his winning goal]. Swivel, hit and then hope. Celebrate. It's all a bit of a blur. It's just instinct, get whatever contact you can, and there are that many bodies, anything can happen.""
""Everyone knows what the atmosphere's like up here, but when a last-minute winner goes in like that, it's special. "We both had spells in the game where we looked in control, but as a whole it was quite an even affair. You could see at the end, we were the ones pushing and looking like we were going to score. It's paid off.""
Harvey Barnes scored in stoppage time to secure a 4-3 Newcastle victory over Leeds at St. James' Park. The winning goal, timed at 101 minutes and 48 seconds, was Barnes' second of the match and the latest winning goal recorded by Opta since 2006-07. Newcastle trailed on three separate occasions but recovered each time, marking the first time Newcastle came from behind three times to win a Premier League match. Performance levels were regarded as secondary to the result, and the late winner was described as creating a special atmosphere.
