There was relief all round at St James’ Park when Newcastle beat Burnley last weekend for their first Premier League win of the season at the 15th time of asking.

Eddie Howe has urged his players to build on that victory, while also highlighting how important to was personally given he has only been in charge a matter of weeks.

“You need to win games to justify everything. Your way of playing, what you do, how you train,” said Howe. “Talking about positives is one thing but having the evidence to back it up is another.

“Everyone was well aware we needed the win, and now we have it. Now we have to try and build on it and we’ve got to try and create some positive momentum. The supporters are going to be key to that, home and away. It can really make the difference.”
