Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton is delighted with the progress of Aston Villa loan signing Marlon Harewood.

Harewood struck twice in Toon's 3-0 victory over Swansea City.

Hughton said: "Marlon is getting fitter and fitter, and it showed today.

"He missed a big chunk of pre-season at Aston Villa through injury, but he's getting stronger all the time.

"He wasn't happy to be taken off in the second half - I would be surprised if he was - because he would have liked the opportunity to get a third goal."
