Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is thrilled with his team's performance as they beat fierce rivals Sunderland 1-0 in the Tyne-Wear derby at the Stadium of Light.

Pardew praises Ryan Taylor who backed up a sterling performance as a makeshift left-back with a stunning winning goal from a free-kick after 62 minutes.

Newcastle have now lost only one of the last 13 league games against their north-east rivals.
