Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has praised his side for showing "good spirit" during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Swansea City.

The Magpies, who are still without a win this season, came from behind twice at the Liberty Stadium to earn a share of the spoils in the Premier League encounter.

"I have mixed feelings. Obviously going 1-0 down and then 2-1 down is not easy. We gave ourselves a big hill to climb but we showed good spirit to come back," Krul is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"It's just one of those things. We are going through a really hard time and we just need a break. Leicester City at home next is a game that we should be winning."

Newcastle welcome Leicester to St James' Park on October 18.
