By Dan King - Newcastle United Digital Editor

Magpies pair Chancel Mbemba and Florian Thauvin attended Newcastle United Disabled Supporters Association's annual Christmas party on Wednesday night.

The duo both helped Steve McClaren's side to beat Liverpool on Sunday, Mbemba playing the full match and Thauvin appearing as a second half substitute.

And both were on top form as they spent time with supporters at the event, which took place in the Heroes Club at St. James' Park.

They chatted to fans, signed autographs and posed for photographs and Thauvin said: "I'm very happy to be here, and a merry Christmas to all."

Newcastle United Disabled Supporters' Association, or NUDSA, was formed in 1998 and former Magpies defender Aaron Hughes' is the group's lifetime patron.
