What a lovely free kick. Worked his socks off tonight and played really well alongside Tiote. :smitten:

I'm sure there'll be some stats about it later on.

Cabaye: "One Of My Best"

 

 

By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter

 

 

 

Yohan Cabaye's stunning free-kick helped put Manchester United to the sword on Wednesday night, and the midfielder believes it was one of his best.

 

With the second half only a couple of minutes old, Cabaye curled a 25-yard strike into the top corner to give Newcastle their second goal in a memorable 3-0 win.

 

And the French international, who has now found the back of the net three times since signing in the summer, explained after the final whistle that hard work on the training pitch paid off when it mattered.

 

"It is one of my best free-kicks," he told nufc.co.uk.

 

"I used to score a few in France, and I practice them a lot in training, but in a game is totally different.

 

"When I saw the ball in the goal I was so happy for the team, for the whole of Newcastle, and it was an important goal.

 

"It was important, not just for me, but for the team as well because it was the second goal and just at the start of the second half."

 

The win leaves Newcastle just three points off fifth-placed Arsenal in the Premier League table, and Cabaye believes it was an excellent way to kick off 2012.

 

"It is a very, very good result for us and a brilliant start to the new year," he said.

 

"For me, it is the best game and the best win since I have been at Newcastle. I was very happy to be on the pitch tonight.

 

"There was five or ten minutes in the second half where we were under pressure and fortunately for us Simmo saved the ball on the line.

 

"But after that we stayed strong and worked very hard."

Phillipe Auclair on Guardian's football weekly saying in france everyone is surprised how successful he's been, apparently they thought he was good but not as good as he's been here and that he wouldn't settle in so quickly. If that's the opinion in france can't hurt his international standings, as I imagine would have been his main worry.
