Sven Botman was pleased with Newcastle's pre-season win over Athletic Club Bilbao to make it two wins in two days for the Magpies. It was the Dutch U-21 international's first appearance at St. James' Park after arriving at the club earlier this summer.
It's a solid end to pre-season preparations for Eddie Howe's side, who saw off Atalanta on Friday evening. The Magpies will now have one week of training before the Premier League curtain raiser against Nottingham Forest.
"Of course, it's very good for our confidence - yesterday and today as well," Botman told NUFC.co.uk "I think we are ready for the season. It's always nice to get a 1-0 early in the game. I think we controlled the first-half very well and played really good positionally and defending good as a team.
