Luton ace Ross Barkley says they can be proud of their 4-4 draw at Newcastle.

At one stage, Luton were 4-2 ahead before Newcastle's fight-back.

Barkley later said: "We knew what we were going to come up against. Newcastle are a top side, great on the transition and the counter. They played well, we played well. It was a bit of a basketball game. But it was an entertaining game and a good one to be a part of.

"It's always nice to score a goal, especially here at St. James' Park. Newcastle are a great club with great fans and it is nice to get a goal here today and get the point.

"We are all proud of each other. We have played three games this week and every one has been positive. We have got that never-say-die attitude and that comes from the manager and the staff.

"I think teams might be really surprised at how good we are now."
