Hughton: Take Nothing Away From Swansea Saturday, 28th Nov 2009 19:12 Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton had praise for Swansea, after his side ran out 3-0 winners at St James's Park Hughton saw his Toon side win their fifth successive game in emphatic fashion thanks to a Marlon Harewood brace and a Peter Lovenkrands header before half-time. The Swans improved after the break and could have reduced the deficit, but came away goalless and pointless from the North East. "I asked for a high-tempo start and after half an hour I was delighted - I couldn't have asked for any more," he said. "To get three goals in that period was tremendous and it has won us the game."It would have been nice to add a couple more, of course, but take nothing away from Swansea; they're a side in form and we were never going to get it all our own way. "You will see numerous games where a team has taken a lead and after half-time the result stays the same. "But it was certainly an excellent first half and I am delighted with the result."
