Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Stoke made it three wins in a row for Newcastle United, but Matt Ritchie has urged his teammates to keep their feet on the ground and take each game as it comes.

It looked like it would be a long season for the Magpies after they lost their opening two games of the campaign, as they returned to the Premier League after a one-year stay in the Championship.

But a convincing 3-0 win over West Ham at the end of August handed Newcastle their first points of the season, and they followed that up with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Swansea before Saturday’s defeat of Stoke.
