Newcastle winger Murphy: I really enjoy crossing!

Newcastle United star Jacob Murphy is enjoying himself and is willing to contribute in any way possible.

The midfielder knows that he is not always first choice under boss Eddie Howe.

However, he has put in excellent displays when called on, including a recent 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Post-game, Murphy told Chronicle Live: "I really enjoy crossing. I think that is a big strength of mine.

"I put in two good crosses and we got goals from them. Maybe I could have had another one if Gordy (Anthony Gordon) hadn't hit the crossbar! But it's good, anyway I can contribute to the team I am satisfied."

On the performance, he added: "Yeah I think so [could have improved]. The second half we probably weren't great if we are going to be truthfully honest with ourselves. We were already 4-0 up but the second half is one side of the game we can reflect on from today and you can't complain!"
