Robson Delighted As Newcastle Hammer Mallorca

NEWCASTLE 4 - 1 MALLORCA

Mallorca's Fernando Correa opened the scoring, before Craig Bellamy, Alan Shearer, Laurent Robert and Titus Bramble each bagged a goal.

Magpies' manager Sir Bobby Robson was of course over the moon, and said: "We've won a marvellous match. But I was still looking for a fifth goal because you can never take enough of an advantage away from home.

"Their goal came against the run of play - it was quite unexpected, a bit of a shock. And it needed Bellamy to stay cool to bring us back into it.

"Once we had equalised we were right back in it. We made our set-pieces count later on. But it is not over.

"They did score an away goal, which at the time, looked very ominous and dangerous. It still means something, but I think we will still have to play very much to our potential to get through. It's far from finished.

"It was a good fightback. There was more than a touch of resilience in the side and we played some good stuff second-half.

"We raised the tempo, pressed better and didn't let them settle on the ball like we did in the first-half."
