Newcastle boss Pardew: Proudest moment of career

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew was beaming after their shock win at Manchester United.Yohan Cabaye's goal earned Toon their first win at Old Trafford in 41 years.

Pardew said: "Today is one of the top moments in my career because we've been waiting 41 years to win here [Old Trafford]. But we will probably not get the headlines because of poor David Moyes, but we do deserve them because we were magnificent. We played to a level which was even good for us.

"Forty-one years we've been waiting to win here and it was a magnificent performance. I asked them to play differently - keep the ball and control the game.

"We made it difficult for them and they didn't have too many moments. It is a great day for this football club and its fans.

"I could still hear them singing when I was down the tunnel. Our players were conscious of that 41 years and I'm delighted it worked out for them.

"It's tough [for David Moyes]. But David is a great manager and what the fans need to do now is to stick by him. They did that with Sir Alex and I'm sure they'll do it now with David."
