After the win, Flores praised his team for the team and also expressed excitement in keeping Ighalo.

"The win was well deserved. I want to praise the whole team but Odion was very good," the manager said.

"We took a decision to keep him two months ago, there were offers from other teams. It was a clever decision."

For the Steve McClaren’s Newcastle side, it's now six games without a win in the English Premier League.

Odion got his first chance in the after he received a pas from Almen Abdi unmarked in the box, but could smashed wide with only Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul to beat.
