Newcastle United midfielder Jack Colback is proud of stopping Chelsea's unbeaten run.

Colback was outstanding for victory over Chelsea on Saturday.

"We showed we can match it with the best," said the 25-year-old, who was part of the side beaten 4-0 at Southampton in September to leave them bottom of the table.

"To be the first team to beat Chelsea this season is a great achievement and we were deserving of it. It was tough at times but we showed our quality as well.

"A lot of people will look at that result and will probably be shocked to see it. But we matched them and didn't give them too much respect, which if you do, can catch you out."
