00:00Newcastle United picked up what their head coach Eddie Howe described as a massive result
00:05as they defeated Jose Mourinho's Benfica by three goals to nil at St James' Park in the Champions League.
00:12Yeah, good performance. I thought, yeah, even first half, really, I thought we created some good chances.
00:22Had to be patient for that first goal. When it came, I thought we scored three great goals today, actually.
00:28I thought we looked a constant threat in the game.
00:31But we had some moments where we had to defend well and they were a threat from their set plays as well.
00:35So I'm delighted with the win. It's a massive, massive result.
00:39Well, I think the Premier League now takes importance.
00:43The Champions League, we're sort of getting in the habit of dipping in and out as you do because it's gone.
00:48This moment is a great moment. I want the players to sort of enjoy it and take the good from it.
00:53But the focus now has to be very firmly on Fulham.
00:56It's a big game for us in our Premier League.
00:58And then, of course, then we'll be going to the Carabao Cup.
01:02So it's really you're sort of dipping in, you're dipping out.
01:04We'll come back to the competition. We're enjoying it.
01:07Well, we're more than enjoying it. We're loving it.
01:10But it's positive results we need to try and get us through.
01:14And Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards praised his side's commitment in their win over Ipswich
01:18as they look ahead to their next fixture against Sheffield Wednesday.
01:22Obviously, it was really nice to win the game. It was a big occasion.
01:26It felt like a big game.
01:27I'll repeat myself. It's a really good team, correct players.
01:34And so, yeah, to sort of go toe-to-toe and really compete, I thought, was really pleasing.
01:42And then to come off on the right end of the result as well.
01:44But I thought we showed a really good side to ourselves.
01:48We showed loads of commitment.
01:49I thought we were brave.
01:51Attacked well.
01:53And, yeah, showed loads of good sides to our game.
01:57You've spoken in the past about striking that balance.
02:00Do you feel like Friday night was an example of how you can strike that balance?
02:04Yeah, I mean, they have a few chances, don't they?
02:07You know, especially a team like that.
02:11It's difficult to completely shut them down.
