Newcastle United striker Chris Wood was delighted to break his duck against Southampton on Thursday.

The January signing from Burnley equalised for Newcastle, who eventually won the match 2-1 thanks to a goal from Bruno Guimaraes.

Speaking after the game, Wood said: "It's nice to be off the mark now and hopefully get more goals in the rest of the season. Jonjo [Shelvey]'s ball made it easy for me to score."

On the victory, he added "It was a very tough, hard-fought win. They're a very good side, especially on their home patch. That's what we're trying to instil in this team.

"[The win] shows the character in the dressing room. It's fantastic for the lads. They've worked hard and deserve it.

"It's taken hard work on the training ground, hard work in games. We're still in a battle, we still need to keep pushing up the table and make ourselves mathematically safe as soon as possible."
