In October, the North-East outfit earned wins over Rotherham United, Brentford, Ipswich Town, Preston North End and Cardiff City in the Championship.

Benitez's men also thumped Preston 6-0 in the EFL Cup, with Aleksandar Mitrovic, Mohamed Diame, Matt Ritchie and Ayoze Perez getting on the scoresheet.

Newcastle have now recorded 12 victories, one draw and three defeats in the second tier.
