Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was delighted with their 4-1 win at Everton on Thursday.
Callum Wilson scored twice for the visitors in each half, with Joelinton and Jacob Murphy also finding the net. Dwight McNeil pulled one goal back for Everton to make it 3-1 before Murphy struck.
Howe said, "A return to goalscoring ways in the last couple of games which is great to see.
"First half was not perfect but second half was very good, we scored some very good goals.
"We knew there would be an aerial challenge for us and I felt we dealt with that very well.
"Second half we really put our foot to the floor and showed what we are capable of.
"It is great to see. Callum was excellent today. The second goal was spectacular. It was great to Alex come on and do well as well."
On Alex Isak's influence for the fourth goal, Howe added: "I couldn't really see what was happening! I have seen it back on the telly and the amount of turns and twists and stepovers he did, an incredible piece of skill. He has incredible ball manipulation.
"I think it is just a case of onto the next game. The end table will tell us where we are and what we have next season but for now we are just focusing on the next game.
"We have returned to form in a really good way."
