The Newcastle United striker scored in last night's 1-1 draw against Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

"He offers us something different and will contribute even more in time.

“I am happy with all my players because they gave everything. Sometimes you cannot play the football you want to in matches, and that was the case.

“We are in a good place at the moment, and can look ahead with confidence.”

Promotion-chasing Fulham are fifth in the Championship.
