Howe admits only wins will do for Newcastle

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits only wins will do in their battle to beat the drop.

The 44-year-old will head for Leicester in Sunday having finally tasted victory in his fourth game at the helm against Burnley last weekend to end the Magpies' wait for a first league win of the campaign at the 15th attempt.

He said: “You need to win games to justify everything, really, your way of playing, what you do, how you train.

“Talking about positives is one thing, but actually having the evidence to back it up is another and I think that's key.

“Obviously we follow statistics and the metrics behind performances very closely. It's a big part of what we do and we've been pleased with lots of aspects of our performances.

“But winning is ultimately what you're here to do, so we were delighted to actually do that.
