Alan Pardew: "It was one of the most enjoyable goals I can think of. When you get a performance and young players entering the field of play, at this club, it gives them a great start.
"They deserved it. Ferguson, (Kazenga) LuaLua, (Sam) Ameobi who came on, Ryan Taylor playing out of position.
"I was thrilled with some of the younger players' performances. It was a just result.
"I'm a big fan of Didier's. I don't think I'll entice him to the north-east. I think it's a bit cold for Didier at this stage of his career. Foreign players come to these shores and some set the example for others to follow.
"He's done that at Chelsea, and he'll probably continue to do that for one or two years still."
