Eddie Howe avoiding 'unhealthy focus' as Newcastle receive Fulham and Liverpool boost

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe insists he isn't looking at the Premier League table or the results of those around the Magpies after getting his side's season back on track. Newcastle got back to winning ways on Sunday with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Wolves, as European-chasing rivals faltered.

Fulham were stuffed 3-0 by title-chasing Arsenal, Liverpool suffered a shock defeat away to Bournemouth and Brighton dropped points with a 2-2 draw with Leeds. Tottenham were the only team around Newcastle to pick all up three points at the weekend.

However, Howe insists he is not concerned with opposition teams as he focuses solely on trying to keep Newcastle on the right path. "I would very rarely comment on results from other teams on a matchday because I just think it's an unhealthy focus," he said after Sunday's win.
