Leeds 4-1 Newcastle: What Jaissle said

Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, speaking to BBC Sport: "That was a tough match, a tough evening. We said beforehand this season would be with many challenges and tonight we faced a big challenge. A tough night, we didn't wish to have that but we need to learn straight away and the good part is we play at home on Saturday and we need to show the right reaction straight away. "We are all in the same boat, I don't want to blame anyone. In the Premier League you need to bring the fundamentals on to the pitch, the physicality. If the opponent is showing that and if you can't match this physicality then it's going to be difficult and that's something we learned today. "I don't want to search for excuses. We know with a young squad if something goes wrong you need to find the right reaction on the pitch and we were not able to do that." Did you know? Newcastle's six game unbeaten run against Leeds in the Premier League came to an end this evening (W2 D4), suffering their first defeat against them since January 2021.
