Jonny Evans has expressed his happiness at the way Manchester United performed against Newcastle United yesterday afternoon.

The Northern Ireland international was among the goalscorers as the Red Devils recorded a 3-0 victory at the Sports Direct Arena.

Looking back over his side's display, Evans believes that they both defended and attacked to a high level.

"As a defender, you want clean sheets but scoring a goal put a bit of gloss on my own performance so it was nice to chip in," Evans told MUTV. "As soon as I made a connection with it I thought it was going in, so I was delighted with that and hopefully I can add a few more.

"You could see by the way that we started that we wanted to come out and put on a good performance. I think the main thing was that we defended and attacked as a team. We were a real unit out there and we made it hard for a good Newcastle side."

United's victory put them second in the Premier League table.
