Newcastle head coach John Carver believes Remy Cabella will be a key player as they look to climb the Premier League table.

The French midfielder scored his first goal for United in their impressive 3-0 win at Hull on Saturday, Carver’s first game in permanent charge since being confirmed as Newcastle boss until the end of the season.

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer says caretaker manager John Carver will need a good run of wins to stand any chance of landing the job full-time.

Sammy Ameobi and Yoan Gouffran added second-half goals to ensure victory but Carver was keen to praise Cabella’s opener.

"Remy's individual performance was great and we all know how important it is to get your first goal in the Premier League,” he said.

"I told him he has the ability to start producing something and I'm so pleased he has chipped in because he makes that a regular occurrence on the training ground.

"I think there is still a lot more to come from him.

“There will be times when he has a bad day but he has come from another league and he can still get stronger and fitter."
