Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has hailed his team-mates for turn around the club’s poor start to the season.
The Magpies secured their fourth win in all competitions after beating Liverpool 1-0 on Saturday, a run which also included a 2-0 away win over Manchester City.
Alan Pardew’s side have been under increasingly heavy pressure in recent weeks with Pardew himself having to deal with fan taunts, protests and threats.
“To win four in a row is incredible,” Krul told the club’s official website. “The spirit we showed again [against Liverpool] is what we’ve showed the last week, we’ve just kept grafting for each other.
“Every single player on that pitch is really working hard for each other, so it’s nice. We’ve stuck together. We’ve been unlucky at the start [of the season].
“We’ve had a lot of stick – some I’ve agreed with, some I really didn’t agree with. But now, we’ve just turned it around and we look like a solid team with some real quality up front.”
