Great win and a brilliant first half. Can't really blame Pardew for the second half as they created nothing before the mistake that led to the goal and we started the half alright. The goal was always going to lift the crowd and the players but we still handled them well and their only chances were from Mutch who looked good. Despite being under the pressure for the last 30 minutes we were still creating chances too which was a big positive.
Cabaye had one of his best games for us and was everywhere. Remy of course was great and Tiote had his best game in ages. Jonas is always going to be a useful sub in a game like this and I was positively surprised with Pardew for the HBA sub, which was still maybe 15 minutes too late.
It's nice to win.
