    More from Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren:

    On next Sunday's Wear-Tyne derby:

    "Sunderland have won the last few derbies. We have got to break it."

    On support from the club:

    "From within the club it's been enormous. You are going to get protests and people not happy when you change the coaches. There is so much potential, but still a long way to go."

    Newcastle 6-2 Norwich

    Steve McClaren talking to BBC Sport:

    "What a game in the first half. I didn't know what was happening. We looked like scoring and conceding. We then settled down and produced some quality. 

    "I'm relieved for the supporters and players who have endured a lot. We've had a tough eight games. There's a tough one next week [against Sunderland]. 

    "We knew a win was around the corner, but we didn't know when it would come. We played some damn good football. We kept the faith with the players - everyone around us is saying what they've been saying, but we've got to keep tight. 

    "Against Chelsea and Man City we looked like scoring, today it was the same but we were clinical in our finishing."

    Newcastle 6-2 Norwich

    Newcastle manager Steve McClaren on Sky Sports:

    "I'm relieved. The crowd got behind us from the first whistle.

    "I'm pleased for the players because it's been tough and hard. We had a tough week after Man City. We showed our strengths of what we are good at but we showed weaknesses by conceding two. Individuals stepped up  - that was the key thing. 

    "The front four were excellent especially Gini Wijnaldum. Moussa Sissoko showed strength and power and he showed why he is coveted by the top four. I thought the score could have been anything. We rode our luck and defended quite well. On the break we were terrific."

    A few close guesses and a few right answers but Ihtisham was first with the right answer to the question: Who are the other six Dutchmen to score a Premier League hat-trick?

  8. Manager reactionpublished at 18:18

    Newcastle 6-2 Norwich

    Norwich manager Alex Neil talking to BBC Sport: 

    "I didn’t think it was a 6-2 scoreline. We played well going forward. Defensively as a group we were poor. At half time it could have been 5-5. We know the nature of the Premier League. 

    "There was one decision made in the game, when I took Alex Tettey off, that didn't have the effect it should have had. It made us more vulnerable at the back. When you concede that many goals it's hard to take positives, but offensively we looked a threat. 

    "We need to move on to the next one and make sure we win it."

  10. Defensive horrorpublished at 18:12

    FT: Newcastle 6-2 Norwich

    Newcastle looked good going forward but there has to be concerns defensively still.

    The Magpies have now conceded 19 goals in nine games, second only to Norwich (20) and the same as bottom side Sunderland.

    Should be goals galore at the Stadium of Light next weekend then.

    FT: Newcastle 6-2 Norwich

    Newcastle four-goal hero Giorginio Wijnaldum on Sky Sports: 

    "Of course we needed the win. We played a few games when we played good, but at end of game we only had one point. Against Chelsea we gave away three points.

    "Every day we work hard to get the result we got today."

    Newcastle goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic: 

    "I enjoyed the goal a lot. We played the perfect game,. After a few bad games we showed how to play football. Gini [Wijnaldum] showed a bit of magic today. He will score more goals. I am very happy here. I hope I will score more goals for Newcastle. From Tuesday onwards we will get ready for Sunderland [next Sunday] - I hope we will play like this.

    An enormous win for Newcastle, more importantly for Steve McClaren. There is still a vulnerability about them. Norwich just haven't dealt with long balls, straight balls, any kind of balls.
