'I kept asking friends to pray for me to score'

Mohamed Elneny couldn't hide his delight after breaking the deadlock at St James' Park.

The Egypt midfielder's 20-yard strike was too hot for Martin Dubravka to handle, and set us well on the way to a professional win over Newcastle United on Sunday.

It was Elneny's first Premier League strike on his 66th league appearance, so we caught up with the 28-year-old after the game to find out how it felt to score.

Mo, that was a really good win today and just what we needed after a difficult few days...
Yeah of course.
