Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy has admitted that the home side gained confidence from David de Gea's dawdling at goal kicks during the opening exchanges of Sunday's 2-0 win over Manchester United at St James' Park.
The Magpies moved above United in the Premier League table on goal difference, climbing to third, courtesy of second-half goals from Joe Willock and substitute Callum Wilson.
Newcastle created a plethora of chances during the first half and had it not been for De Gea they would have gone into the half-time interval with their noses in front. The Spaniard produced a brilliant double save in the blink of an eye to thwart Alexander Isak and then Willock on the follow-up.
