Newcastle boss Eddie Howe praises the performances of Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley after the 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 found a way to win? We found a way to turn it in our favour. Palace are a difficult opponent. We navigated our way through the game really well. 0:50 Joelinton. Thoughts? He’s such an important player, his character, strength is so important. Another big performance from him. We didn’t want to risk further injury but that period our made him appreciate how good it is playing football. 1:40 Bruno’s a special player. Special person and character he’s got similar qualities. Today he played a captain’s role that game was going to be decided by a big moment. Big players decide big games and today was decided by a huge player for us. 2:20 Clean sheet? We deserved it today, two CBs were very good. Miley was superb. They had a number of long throws early in the game and corners. 3:10 Very good performance from Miley once again, you come to expect that from him. 3:40 Is this the best time to gain momentum? We realised the Burnley game was important in our PL season. I still feel there’s a lot more to come. 4:30 is that why you never take Bruno off? There’s a quality about him you can’t measure? I suppose it’s a subconscious thing. I ended up moving him deeper so he could have more influence on the game. He’s been brilliant in recent weeks. 5:40 thinking behind the changes? It’s very difficult to talk tactically without boring the life out of you! We wanted to get Harvey’s goalscoring instinct on the pitch. 6:30 describe the size of that first goal? A big goal for us, the first goal’s important in a game like that. Too often we’ve conceded the first goal. We need that feeling of the goal’s coming. The glass has always been half full for me I will always give an honest opinion to the staff and the press here. 7:45 Sven, Tino, Kieran back in the squad? First time this season there’s depth? I think it was really important we have those players back for this mo
