Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew believes that his side played 'champagne football' as they beat West Brom 3-1 at the Hawthorns.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has claimed that his side played 'champagne football' after their 3-1 win against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.

Papiss Demba Cisse's brace and Hatem Ben Arfa's strike had put the Magpies 3-0 up at half time.

Shane Long's goal after the break set up a nervy second half, but Newcastle held on to take them level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea.

"First half we played some really fantastic stuff. I said before the game that at the training ground there was a new buoyancy after the win against Norwich and today it was champagne stuff," Pardew told Sky Sports News.

"After their goal we started to get a little bit nervous but we managed to see it out. We had chances to get the fourth goal, we knew that would seal it and that was my half-time message. But we managed to see it out with the three goals.

"We've been phenomenal all year, the players have worked so hard and deserve all the plaudits they get. This is a tough place to come and they've won with something to spare."

Pardew's side next host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday.
