Newcastle have not turned the corner yet despite their 2-1 victory at Tottenham on Sunday, according to manager Steve McClaren.
Ayoze Perez scored three minutes into stoppage time to give McClaren’s side a second successive win, following last weekend’s home victory over Liverpool.
They are now out of the relegation zone but only two points above 18th place.
“We need more performances like that,” McClaren said. “We have been inconsistent.”
The 54-year-old former England and Derby manager added: “It’s answered the critics we have had over last four weeks and it was a great performance in the second half and a great result.
“That is what we are, a bedrock of discipline and hard work. We have talented players and they know how to win. We just have to do it consistently.
“But we haven’t turned the corner yet.”
