Salomon Rondon warns Newcastle they will have to scrap for every point this season

Match-winner Salomon Rondon has warned Newcastle they will have to scrap for every point this season after firing them to back-to-back Premier League victories.

The Venezuela international frontman struck twice on Saturday as the Magpies added another three points to those they claimed against Watford last weekend with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Victory lifted Rafael Benitez's men into 14th place in the table, hours after they had slipped back into the bottom three as a result of Cardiff's 2-1 win over 10-man Brighton but Rondon, a summer loan signing from West Brom, is taking nothing for granted.
