Newcastle keeper Elliot full of praise for Wellington Phoenix No1 Moss

Newcastle United goalkeeper Rob Elliot has sung the praises of Wellington Phoenix No1 Glen Moss.

Elliot was pipped to the man of the match award by Yoan Gouffran on Saturday night.

But rather than take the plaudits he heaped praise on his opposite number Moss - who also denied United the chance to extend their lead.

He said: "I thought Glen Moss was excellent.

"He made a great save, tip over the bar and another save at the near post, but we didn't test him as much as we should've after that.

"But he looks really good, really confident.

"I think all the keepers have done really well in the tournament so far."
