MANAGER REACTION- Crystal Palace 0-3 Newcastle
Alan Pardew
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew: "Not many teams are going to come here and win 3-0. I'm delighted with the players - they were terrific. The key was to control possession and make sure ball didn't come into our box. It's not always easy on this pitch and in these conditions.
"[Yohan] Cabaye made a difference. His contribution was important - he gave us the X-Factor. Hatem [Ben Arfa] gave us that. [Fabricio] Coloccini and [Mathieu] Debuchy were immense as was [Cheick] Tiote. I don't put Cabaye above the others. Five wins away says we have good spirit. It's difficult to break us down and we score goals in open play. We could do a little better on set-plays.
