Sibierski swoops for Magpies

NEWCASTLE boss Glenn Roeder paid tribute to the mental strength of his players after their first win in the Premiership in 10 matches.

Substitute Antoine Sibierski’s second goal in four days and his first for the club in the league, was enough to clinch victory over Portsmouth.

However, the Magpies endured a tense conclusion as the heroics of Pompey keeper David James denied them a more comfortable winning margin.
