Newcastle United picked up an impressive three points at Villa Park today thanks to goals from Hatem Ben Arfa and Yoan Gouffran. 

Here is what was said after the game.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew:

“We carried a lot of offensive threat. We haven’t had enough threat, but we’ve got it now. Hatem Ben Arfa got a lot of headlines last time he scored against Fulham but I thought he did just OK then. Today he was unplayable. Hatem was on fire today.

“He has the ability to hold on to the ball and give us a rest, then burst past one or two players. If he can get consistency not only will he be a threat for us, but a threat for France at the World Cup.”

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert:

“We never really got going in the first half. Credit to Newcastle on that side. We got back in the game with Christian’s [Benteke] goal. The second goal was a poor goal to concede. You pick yourselves up when you go behind and go again. We gave it a right go but you can’t start the way we did.”
