Former Newcastle defender John Anderson spoke to BBC Radio Newcastle after Wednesday’s victory against Leeds United.

“We conceded three goals and that has to be a concern – but the one thing this side has is togetherness when things aren’t going well. They keep digging in and battling away and they got their rewards in the end.

“When you look at how other results went [on Wednesday], this result is so big. Two weeks ago, people were complaining that we were in the bottom half of the table and we weren’t going anywhere and all of a sudden we’re up to sixth.

“This league is so up and down and everybody is capable of beating everybody else. It’s so stretched in that middle section and that is why this result is absolutely massive.”
