Matt Ritchie has urged Newcastle to 'make new memories' by continuing their encouraging start to life back in the Premier League.

Saturday's 2-1 home victory over Stoke left the Magpies sitting fourth in the table, and while manager Rafael Benitez was swift to insist feet must be kept on the ground, the mood on Tyneside is significantly more optimistic than it was as a difficult summer transfer window drew to a close.

In-form Scotland international Ritchie knows there are tougher tests to come, but the winger has challenged his team-mates to keep the feelgood factor going for as long as they can.
