(Reuters) - Newcastle United must not get carried away by their recent run of impressive results as they prepare for Sunday's Premier League trip to Brighton and Hove Albion, manager Rafa Benitez said on Friday.

Following three consecutive victories, Newcastle have stormed to fourth in the league standings and are only four points behind title favourites Manchester City and Manchester United.
