Paulo Sousa: "In my opinion, we deserved much more than this result, but it can be a great experience for us.
"We started afraid and we conceded twice from counter-attacks, but we made some corrections before half-time and then in the second half, we had better control of the game.
"But this is Newcastle, it's very difficult for anyone to catch them.
"West Brom have a great squad with great quality and they could do, but I think Newcastle have more claims on the championship."
