Match Comments:
Newcastle caretaker manager Chris Hughton said:
"We have got a
totally focused group of players who, from minute one, saw an
opportunity for us to stay on top of the division, and very much took
that opportunity.
We have got used to getting on with the job. There are things we can't
affect, but I am very lucky that I have got a group of players who are
focused on one thing, and that's on staying where we are at the right
end of the table with the ultimate aim of getting promotion.
We are focused enough and it certainly hasn't taken anything away from
the victory."
Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson said:
"Out of every game I've got to take positives,
but we just don't give ourselves a chance.
We spoke at length about trying to keep and trying to get control of the
game quickly.
We knew they'd come out of the traps quick they always do at home. I
think they were hurting a little bit from the defeat in the cup."

Match Report: |

Maiden goals from Jonas
Gutierrez and Danny
Simpson, plus a Andy Carroll header, saw Newcastle United comfortably
beat Peterborough United 3-1 at St James' Park.
A vocal home crowd, who were protesting about Mike Ashley's decision to
rename the stadium, were rewarded by a fine performance from the
Magpies.
On 15 minutes
Gutierrez picked up possession on the left
flank before cutting inside and out of two Posh defenders and into the
box, where the Argentinean blasted his shot into the net for his first
ever Toon goal.
Three minutes later and Newcastle were 2-0 up. Striker Carroll
rose above everyone else to head home a Danny Guthrie corner from
six-yards out for his fourth goal of the season.
Unfortunately Gutierrez's day was to end one minute later, as the winger
had to be replaced by Ryan Taylor due to a leg injury
Seven minutes into the second half and the game was affectively over
with Newcastle's third goal. A swift counter-attack found Marlon
Harewood, the Aston Vila loanee played in the overlapping Simpson and
the right-back hit a cross cum shot that sailed into the far corner
beyond goalkeeper Joe Lewis.
With ten minutes remaining Peterborough got a consolation goal.
The ball pinballed inside the United penalty box and fell at the feet of
Dean Keates, the Posh man then spun and fired in a low shot past Stephen
Harper.
Their third win in a row was enough for Newcastle to maintain their two
point cushion at the top of the Championship as the teams now head into
an international break. |
