We stuck to the gameplan - Benitez
Burnley 1-2 Newcastle

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez, speaking to Sky Sports:"The main thing was the effort of the players. We had an idea of how to play, we knew crosses would come from everywhere, we defended well, our effort and attitude was great.

"We stuck to the gameplan. We suffered a bit at the end but we could have scored a third goal."

On playing three centre-backs: "We had (left-back) Paul Dummet injured so we had to change something. The idea was to play with three centre backs against two big strikers and it worked really well.

"Our defenders did well because the strikers are big and then they put another big lad up front."

On his side's goals coming from corners: "We knew we could play short because they were deep and we had time to get in the cross."

Well the game plan worked, always nice when the manager has a plan and sets the team up to play it. Rather than loaded up on players who'll sulk if not picked and then hope we have a moment of glory to win games.
