Newcastle United looked down and out after failing to win any of their first 14 games of the season but they have just reached the 40-point mark and are only outside the top half on goal difference following Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
The Magpies have enjoyed a fantastic turnaround under Eddie Howe in 2022, which has been massively helped by a £95million spend on five players in the January transfer window, with only Liverpool recording more points than them this year.
And after moving 15 points clear of the relegation zone with that victory over the Eagles, Newcastle defender Dan Burn insists his side “don’t want to stop” as they continue to climb the league table.
