Gutierrez hails 'difficult' win

Newcastle United midfielder Jonas Gutierrez has hailed his side's performance after a 2-0 win at Swansea City.

Two goals from the in-form Papiss Cisse at the Liberty Stadium have lifted the Magpies up to fifth in the Premier League table.

"We had to work so hard, we knew it was difficult to get a win," Gutierrez told Sky Sports News. "You have to be compact against Swansea but we know when we have the ball we can expode our quick players.

"We now want the other strikers to score, we want Demba Ba to come back with some goals but Papiss is scoring which is fantastic for us."

Newcastle next host struggling Bolton Wanderers at the Sports Direct Arena on Monday.
