Newcastle United's Andros Townsend relieved to win "massive three points"

Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend admits the he feels relieved after earning a "massive three points" against Crystal Palace.

Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend has admitted that he and his teammates are "buzzing" after claiming a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon.

The result has moved the club out of the relegation zone and put them one point clear of fellow strugglers Sunderland.

Townsend, who scored the crucial goal from a free kick, accused Palace of time-wasting during the match.

"Winning is a huge relief," BBC Sport quotes Townsend as saying. "I was going to shoot the other side of the wall, but they had such tall players, that I decided to wrong-foot the keeper and it worked out perfectly.

"It could be a massive three points and I am glad I played my part since I have joined and hopefully I will score a few more. The team are buzzing in there, it is a massive three points.

"Palace set up to relegate us, from minute one they were time wasting. Sunderland dropped points which is another bonus for us. We live to fight another day and now we prepare for Villa."

Newcastle have two games left to play.
