Alan Pardew hails Newcastle United character

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew praises his side's "character and discipline" during their 2-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League.

Alan Pardew has said that Newcastle United showed "character and discipline" to end Chelsea's unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

Papiss Cisse came off the bench to lead the home side to a 2-1 win at St James's Park, moving the Magpies up to seventh in the table.

The manager told BBC Sport: "That was about character and discipline against probably best team in Europe at the moment. At the start I thought we stood off Chelsea a bit, but we stuck at it.

"I've never had six minutes of stoppage time at home before. We've heard of Fergie time but that was about Mourniho time! It's a special day for us. At the end we had players flying in blocking shots and that summed us up. We are in it together and pulling one way.

"Our tactical plan to stop Chelsea worked quite well. We're delighted to have given a little gee up to the Premier League. I'm sure Jose won't agree."

Newcastle travel to Arsenal next weekend.
