Harper's Last-Ditch Saves Earn Toon Three Points!

Chris Hughton: "What we have had is Steve Harper who has made a couple of absolutely fabulous saves and that's the quality of the keeper he is.

"He's doing the business. There's different aspects to Steve Harper. He's a Newcastle lad and has been here for a long time, he's a very calming influence, a mature lad and a mature player and that has been invaluable for us.

"But over the 90 minutes we deserved what we got. It was vitally important we got something from the game.

"In the build-up to the goal Kevin Nolan clattered into Kyle Walker, but my first impressions are that he won the ball."
