# Martin Dubravka dedicates first win to Newcastle faithful

According to [Chronicle Live](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/debut-hero-martin-dbravka-dedicates-14276418), Martin Dubravka has dedicated his debut win for Newcastle against Manchester United to the Magpies faithful.

The keeper joined Newcastle on loan from Sparta Prague in January as Newcastle wanted a consistent No. 1 and impressed on his debut performance against the might of Manchester United, where his side won 1-0.

Dubravka kept a clean sheet in the process and it looks like Newcastle have found a gem of a goalie.

There was plenty of efforts to deal with for Dubravka, keeping out the world-class attacking force of Manchester United, as his side were put under immense pressure during the 90 minutes.

The new man had this to say about his debut:

> I feel amazing, we won and that is the most important thing. But also it was my first game and my debut so I am very happy that we won.

The 29-year-old added:

> The coach told me what the line-up was going to be and I tried to stay calm and focus on the game. Knowing I was playing was an amazing feeling.
>
> To know you will play in a competitive game with a big club was great. We have to realise this is a big club and we have to fight for things.

Dubravka’s praise for the fans came when he spoke about the celebrations after the final whistle.

> It was the most amazing feeling. You can feel the atmosphere around the stadium from the people. If you give them passion they will give you everything. I am so happy to give them a win.
