Miguel Almiron played an inspiring role for Newcastle United against Huddersfield Town and Rafael Benitez praised his performance.
Rafael Benitez welcomed Miguel Almiron's good day after the Newcastle United record signing played a leading role in Huddersfield Town's 2-0 win in his full debut.
The Magpies took four points ahead of the relegation zone with a dominant performance against the last club in the Premier League, reduced to 10 men when Tommy Smith was sent off after 20 minutes.
Almiron and Salomon Rondon had already reached the post at that time and Newcastle then completely controlled the park of St James's Park.
The hosts recorded 29 shots and finally managed to come out of the stalemate 59 seconds after the break by Rondon. Ayoze Perez was quickly badured to score the points with a fly volley in which Almiron was involved.
Almiron had three shots on target and played six badists before receiving an ovation from the crowd when he retired from the game in the 81st minute.
Addressing Sky Sports, Benitez said of Almiron: "He did what we expected from him. He is well connected with the other attackers. It was a great day for him and the fans.
"We played well and I'm happy with the performance of the players. It was difficult for them with 10 men but they still had chances. We had a lot of chances and we hit the post or the bar three or four times. "

Almiron told Sky Sports his first appearance at St James's Park: "I'm very happy with my debut, even more of the three points. The most important is the environment, I really enjoy it.
"Too bad I could not score, it was a good chance [when he hit the post]. The most important thing is victory, we needed it. The objectives will come. "
Huddersfield skipper Jan Siewert has lost all four of his matches since replacing David Wagner last month and has the heavy task of leading the Terriers – who are 14 points behind safety – to survival.
"The red card broke our necks. Before, we had opportunities and possession, but the red card broke our neck, "Siewert told Sky Sports.
"It's a diagonal ball from which they scored and when we have one man less, it's very difficult. We talked about the game and the situation changed the game. We will continue. "
