On Frenchman Saint-Maximin’s goal, Bruce added: “Finally got a goal. never thought he'd get it from a header - I am pleased with him.
“We all know the remarkable ability he has. What a header.
“We play on the counter. It suits the players we have. We ask a lot of the centre forward but it suits us and we are getting results."
And finally when asked by former Newcastle hero Les Ferdinand, part of the post-match analysis, about the January window, Brue said: "I haven't even asked that question because I have two or three I haven't seen.
“Can we get players in January that can make us better?
