Newcastle teenage midfielder, Lewis Miley has expressed happiness with his performance during Chelsea’s 4-1 loss to the Magpies over the weekend.

Alexander Isak opened the scoring for Eddie Howe’s men after a defence-splitting pass from Miley.

The 17-year-old, who was making a rare appearance in the fixture, feigned a shot before passing the ball to Isak, who finished it off coolly inside Robert Sanchez’s goal to make it 1-0 to the home side.

“Before the first goal, I was just about to shoot and then I spotted Alex just through the middle of the defenders, who thought I was going to shoot, and I managed to play the ball to Alex who scored,” Miley told NUFC.co.uk at full-time.

“It was a brilliant feeling after the ball hit the back of the net and hearing the noise of the crowd when we scored. It was a great moment for me.

“I got told by Alexander Isak during the celebrations, after I passed to him, to keep doing that and it’s really good to hear that kind of encouragement from players who are playing at international level. It gives me more belief as a player.”
