Shelvey said after the game: "It's massive. We knew we had to come and win today as Norwich won last night.
"Credit to the lads.
"I knew I had to go across goal. I think the keeper gave it a bit of help but a goal is a goal and I'll take it."
Shelvey now feels Newcastle have the spirit to stay up.
He said: "This is a difficult place to come and play football because Leeds are constantly on the move but everyone battled for the shirt.
"We have been working to see games out, we know we can create chances and score goals so it was just about seeing games out."
And when asked if Newcastle can stave off the drop with 17 matches left, he added: "We have never had any doubts, everyone is in this together.
"We will keep going and we believe we have enough to stay up."
