Chris Hughton: "I'm more relieved because at 1-1 they had an opportunity to go 2-1 up.
"I'm certainly relieved that it (the penalty) didn't go in.
"I thought on the balance of the game that we deserved to win it. In the first half they (Doncaster) played a good tactical game but they will keep possession against any team.
"I thought over the 90 minutes that if there was a side that was going to win the game I felt it was us but at 1-1 and with the penalty you think the worst.
"I think it says everything (about our spirit).
"We're realistic enough to know we've had a difficult time in recent weeks.
"Our performances in the last two games were very good and the two performances here (at St James' Park) before that we found difficult.
"There is a lot of character in that side. To get the winner when we did speaks volumes for this group of lads."
