Rafa: We're laughing & # 39; of Ritchie after Newcastle victory

Rafael Benitez insisted that nothing had changed even though Newcastle had won its third consecutive game against Burnley to get away from the relegation zone of the Premier League.

The Magpies now have four points over their last three goals and three points ahead of their opponents, after the first goals of defensemen Federico Fernandez and Ciaran Clark in a 2-1 win.

Benitez said, "The race is long. Now we have won three times in a row.

"What does it mean, nothing, we are happier, we have more confidence, but we have to keep winning matches if we want to stay in shape, the same message when we lose is the message. now when we win. "

Sam Vokes scored a half-time goal just before half-time and Burnley had several good chances to equalize, though Newcastle would have been ahead of him but Matt Ritchie would have missed in the 50th minute.

The winger met DeAndre Yedlin's two-yard goal with an open goal in front of him, while guiding the ball wide.

Ritchie told Sky Sports, "I thought I scored to be honest. Hope this will not make the worst Premier League mistakes.

"I was delighted at the end to see the ball (Vokes head trendy) pbad over the bar and the whistle. It was a huge relief. "

After the final whistle, Benitez looked for Ritchie. The Newcastle boss said, "I have to see the retransmission. We laughed in the end because he can not understand.

"But in the end, we won and he did a great job. Even missing that opportunity is not his position. I must congratulate everyone.

"It was a tough match. We knew it might be difficult, they are a strong, very physical team with the two forwards, fast wingers. The three central defenders did a great job.

"The team was pushing hard enough, we started well. It was unfortunate for us not to score the third goal but to have three points in the end, that's something we have to be really excited about. "

After six days without a win, Burnley came back to a point from the foot of the table and boss Sean Dyche was frustrated to concede more overlooked goals but happy with the answer.

He said: "Many aspects of the game have pleased me a lot. Admittedly, the amount of quality chances we created was nice, because it's not easy to do in the Premier League. Obviously, the frustration is that you get no results.

"We have to put ourselves on the right side of the margins, but we also need a little luck. Their first goal is deviated, and the second is mediocre.

"We have given too many soft targets this year, we know it, but things are getting tighter. I am very happy with the mentality of the game. The character of the team is coming back.
