Colback mixed emotions after losing Newcastle debut

Jack Colback had mixed emotions about a losing Newcastle United debut to Manchester City.

Tyneside-born Colback fulfilled a dream when he made his league debut for the club he supported as a boy after spending the whole of his career until the end of last season with arch-rivals Sunderland.

The 24-year-old said: "It was bittersweet, really, coming off with a defeat. It would have been fantastic to have come away with at least a point.

"But it was great to finally have that moment and get it under the belt."
