Steve Bruce delighted with Hull City victory

Steve Bruce insists that his Hull City team deserved to beat Newcastle United 3-2 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Despite falling behind twice in the match, Sone Aluko scored a late winner to earn three points, and Bruce believes that his side were well worth their victory.

"I'm absolutely delighted, I have to say. I've been really happy with the way we've played all season," Bruce told BBC Sport. "We created a lot of chances today and we thoroughly deserved our win.

"I'm a Geordie at the end of the day and I've always enjoyed coming back, apart from last time (when his Sunderland side lost 5-1 to the Magpies) but today was very satisfying"

The victory was Hull's second of the season.
