Jewell: "We were not going to get anything today from the referee, were we? We got to these meetings and we are told there is going to be more added time and they are going to be more stringent on that.

"I made two substitutions and there were two goals scored, and then they put three minutes up. For me Shay Given was taking ages with every goal-kick and free-kick and kicking the ball away.

"We got two bookings, but our keeper has got ice on his leg from a nasty challenge. I thought there was a rule against booking Newcastle players today, but obviously that changed with the booking of (Albert) Luque at the end.

"I am very disappointed in the result, but quite happy with the performance. I thought we deserved more than that. In the first 20 minutes, we were average and a bit disjointed, we looked a little bit edgy, but after that, I thought we were the better side."
