Ghana winger Christian Atsu has lauded his side's mental toughness ahead of their crunch English Premier League game with Manchester City on Wednesday.
The Magpies go into the game at the St James' Park having won their last game 3-2 away at West Ham United.
Atsu was among the scorers as Newcastle secured a 3-2 win at the London Stadium at the weekend.
It lifted the Magpies out of the relegation zone and ended a run of nine games without victory.
And Atsu believes it is testament to the belief and togetherness that has been instilled in this Newcastle side.
''Everyone worked really hard and gave everything,'' Atsu explained.
''We wanted to win, because we knew what was at stake. We fought so hard to get this win, and I’m very happy.
''We had a very difficult run. It was nine games without a win. That was really hard and difficult for all the players, but (West Ham) showed that we’re mentally strong in every single situation and that we can also turn things around in every single situation.''
