Barnes delighted proving Newcastle matchwinner

Harvey Barnes was delighted proving Newcastle's matchwinner in their 4-3 victory over West Ham.

The visitors had a 3-1 lead before Newcastle stormed back, with Barnes scoring a late double.

He later said: "I think the way we play you are always thinking you'll get another chance. As soon as you have the crowd behind you. As soon as it went 3-2 the crowd lifts and the confidence grows and you could almost feel that next goal coming so it was some game being involved in."

On the feeling of the winning goal going in, he added: "All sorts. Relief, obviously me being out for so long they are the moments I have missed so much. Scoring goals but scoring important goals. Scoring goals that help the team win points and climb the league.

"You can't really describe them feelings sometimes, so late on in the game and then after that it was just hoping we can hold on to the result and get the three points and we did that."
