Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is keen to prove his worth at St. James’ Park before talking about a permanent move in the summer.
Signed from Sparta Prague in January on loan, the Slovak played a massive role in making sure Matt Ritchie’s goal in the second half was good enough for Newcastle to beat Manchester United 1-0 at home.
He made a few top saves throughout the game, but his standout moment came in the dying seconds of stoppage time when he denied Michael Carrick from scoring a late equaliser from close range.
The goalkeeper has been earning huge praised since the final whistle at St. James’ Park and Dubravka admits it was an amazing feeling to get a win and beat Manchester United on his debut for the Magpies.
The Slovak told BBC’s Match of the Day programme: "It was an amazing game. It was important for us that we got the three points. Everybody is super happy.
