Newcastle goalkeeper Dubravka: It's huge; I'm so proud

Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is delighted over his time with the Magpies.

Dubravka reached 150 games for the club in February.

He told today's match programme: "I knew about it, but when I was counting the games… I kind of think they messed up!

"It came a bit earlier, I think. When you're reading the books, and you're counting the Premier League games and you're counting the cup games, I don't know… I messed up, maybe!

"But it is huge for me. It's huge. When I signed, I didn't expect to play that many games. I didn't know the position I would be in when I was coming here. To achieve that number… I think I'm the second-highest Slovakian to have a number like this after (Martin) Škrtel, and then there's a big gap.

"I'm so proud of that - I'm so proud of that, I'm not going to lie. Not that many Slovakian players have played in the Premier League. Ľubo Šatka was here, an academy player, but he didn't play in the league for the first team. I'm so proud."
