Andros Townsend "humbled" by reception from Newcastle United fans

Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend has admitted that he was "humbled" by the positive reception he received from the club's supporters yesterday afternoon.

The 24-year-old, who joined the Magpies from Tottenham Hotspur for £12m in the winter transfer window, made his home debut during the 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

He was replaced by Ayoze Perez in the 88th minute, when he was given a standing ovation by those inside St James' Park.

"Humbled by the reception I received today on my home debut but more importantly massive 3 points and thoroughly deserved," Townsend wrote on Twitter.

The victory lifted Newcastle out of the relegation zone at the expense of Norwich City.
