Dan Burn insists Newcastle 'don't want to stop' after hitting the magic 40-point mark with victory over Crystal Palace, with Eddie Howe's side now in reach of a top-half finish despite failing to win any of their first 14 Premier League matches

Dan Burn has insisted Newcastle are in no mood to stop now after dragging themselves out of Premier League relegation trouble and to within touching distance of the top 10.

The Magpies climbed 15 points clear of the drop zone as a result of Wednesday night's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at St James' Park, their sixth on the trot on Tyneside, something they had not achieved in the top flight since 2004 during Sir Bobby Robson's reign.

It left them in 11th place, level on 40 points with Brighton in 10th with five games to go, but with safety not yet mathematically assured and top two Manchester City and Liverpool among their remaining opponents, they want to keep the ball rolling.
