Newcastle boss Carver: I know how good Bolasie is

Newcastle United caretaker boss John Carver was impressed by Crystal Palace goalscorer Yannick Bolasie after their 1-1 draw.

Carver worked with Bolasie at Plymouth Argyle.

"Let me tell you something about the substitutions. I brought Dummett on because I know all about Yannick Bolasie," he said.

He is a talented footballer and I worked with him ever single day at Plymouth and I know he has a bright future ahead of him and he is a talent.

"You saw from his first touch, he shifts the ball quickly and puts a quality ball in the box and they score from it.

"I was concerned that he would do that again and we would lose the game so I had to do something about it - sometimes you have to take off your flair players to get something out of the game."
