Mourinho: A privilege to experience Man Utd fight-backs

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admits victory over Newcastle United was memorable.

Mourinho is happy knowing his team is capable of fighting back in games.

He said, “You know, it was the third time for me [coming back from two goals down to win a game] at Manchester United, no? Crystal Palace, Man City and Newcastle. I think, in a short period of time, to have – I think – the privilege to live these three moments is fantastic.

"They are the matches that you don't forget. I remember clearly a match in the past where I was losing 2-0 and won 3-2, losing 3-0 and then drew 3-3.

"These are the matches that you keep in your memory – Newcastle is the fresh one but, in a couple of years, Palace, Man City and Newcastle, to win 3-2 is a fantastic feeling and, as an experience, it's the best experience that you can have – the game is lost and in the end you win."
