'Every game is like a final' - Benitez demands focus from Newcastle
Newcastle United must continue treating every match "like a final" after recording a third straight Premier League win, according to manager Rafael Benitez.
Despite Matt Ritchie's contender for the miss of the season, the Toon moved up to 13th in the table thanks to Ben Mee's own goal and a Ciaran Clark header.
The Magpies made a dreadful start to the season but can now look up, although Benitez will ensure his side keep their feet on the ground.
