Newcastle boss Howe amazed by Wor Flags efforts

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe was delighted at the atmosphere at their most recent Premier League game.

The Magpies romped to a 4-0 success over Tottenham to push up into sixth place in the table.

The fans and Wor Flags group were in full voice pre-game, with one banner reading: "I love representing this city... Representing the people that are me."

Another banner showed the faces of the 11 local players who are a part of the squad.

"I wanted to step onto the pitch and applaud it, to be honest, because I can't celebrate those players enough," Howe told reporters after the 4-0 win over Spurs.

"I know I say it in a lot of press conferences but when you see behind the scenes what they give, they really do need celebrating and it was a brilliant gesture, brilliant flag and a lovely presentation.

“I know that mean a lot to those players involved."
