LONDON (Reuters) - Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez was full of admiration for his players after they secured their first win in nine games to move out of the Premier League's bottom three with an impressive 3-2 win at West Ham United on Saturday.
He said he had never lost faith despite their perilous position in the table and that with the attitude and spirit of his squad they can now start looking upwards after securing their first victory since Oct. 21. The victory moved Newcastle up to 15th in the table with 18 points from 19 games, easing their relegation worries, and Benitez hopes this can now transform their season.
