Howe on Newcastle win
He said: "I think there was a lot of relief in our emotions at the end.
"It wasn't a fantastic performance from us but it was a determined one, a gritty one. It was one that wanted to show our response from the Brighton performance.
"I think we've seen that, a clean sheet, a massive three points, and now we can move forward.
"When you're manager of this football club you can't lose games on a consistent basis, it can't become a habit. We are determined to bounce back from the three defeats and that's the Premier League, there's no easy fixtures.
