Man of the moment Ciaran Clark has revealed Newcastle United players became more ambitious as the game went on against Chelsea.
A point would have still been deemed a decent result by most fans, but United kept pushing until the last knockings of the game.
Isaac Hayden proved to be the hero but Clark was also one of the standout performers of the day.
Looking back on the big win, he said: "Obviously as the time was going on and we could see the clock going down, we were just thinking: ‘Hold on – 0-0 against Chelsea at home would be brilliant.’
"But we managed to get a break down one of the sides and get a corner, and in the last couple of minutes you’re thinking: ‘Right, there’s a chance here now – we could go and get something.’
"First the corner got cleared but it was a great ball back in, Isaac was there and it was a great finish.
"It was the perfect time to score."
Clark, speaking to NUFC TV, now wants to carry that form on into the next clutch of games.
He added: "We’ve got that attitude where we want to keep going until the final whistle is blown.
"When we’re in a position like that – 0-0 with five or ten minutes to go – we’re thinking: ‘Let’s not concede now and blow the hard work we’ve done.’
"That feeling when the goal goes in and you’re 1-0 up with a minute or two to play, it’s just unbelievable.
"If we’d come off the pitch with a draw we’d have been happy, but to come off with three points is just massive for us and a great boost going into the next game."
