AZ coach van Gaal had warned his players of the threat of Oba Martins, and guess what, his assessment was spot on.Van Gaal: "We have seen the confirmation. I know the quality of my own players, but I also know the quality of Obafemi Martins.
"There were times when he might have done even better, but I have to say every shot on goal was a goal in the first half.
"I had the feeling in the second half we could come closer to Newcastle. The only had one chance - and it was Martins again - but we had a few chances."
