It was a very happy return to our starting lineup for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Our club captain had been sidelined since contracting malaria while on international duty with Gabon last month, but made the most of his first start in April, scoring our second at St James' Park.

We needed this one. I think after a few games without winning, it was important to win just before our important game on Thursday. It's good for the confidence for all the team.
