Hughes: "We had a big disappointment on Wednesday when we did not defend our set plays particularly well. We lost the game as a consequence of that.

"The scoreline was not really a reflection of how we performed but in the second half today we played a lot better.

"Newcastle's goal livened us up for we realised we had a situation to contend with.

"We had to dig in and compete. We saw our way through it and scored some great goals as well.

"Bentley's free-kick was an outstanding strike and an important moment for us as it was the equaliser.

"That opened the game up and we got the run of the ball. David also got a good second goal, although his luck was in with the ball hitting the post."
