Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe was delighted with their rout of Aston Villa on Saturday night.
Newcastle won 5-1 with Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes, Alexander Isak (2) and Callum Wilson struck.
"We scored five - we could have scored more. Everything clicked for us," Howe said.
"It was a tight game decided by our ruthlessness in front of goal. Villa were also in the game, so we're very pleased. We had to be at our best.
"We knew we had a difficult start [with the fixture list], so you look at this game as a massive moment in our season.
"Now we have to go to Manchester City, which is the hardest place to go. We've got to embrace the challenge and then of course Liverpool, but we will focus on City first."
