Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was delighted with the hunger of his players for their 8-0 win at Sheffield United.
Eight different players scored for Newcastle on the day.
Howe later said: "I thought we were really good from the start and when the goals came I felt the confidence in the team returned.
: "The big thing for us was that we really wanted to score and we weren't content with three and I want that mentality to run through the team.
"We shared them around a bit today. There were important ones there for Alexander Isak to score and Sean Longstaff, for me he is a goal-scoring midfielder. So some really important ones for the individuals."
On three clean sheets in a row, he added: ""It is a welcome return to form in that regard because we were so good defensively last season and we weren't as watertight at the start of this one. It is a welcome boost for us because we know we have top quality defenders."
