Andros Townsend is convinced Newcastle United can beat the drop after victory over Swansea City.

Toon players know they can climb out of the relegation zone with a good win against Manchester City at St James' Park on Tuesday.

Townsend said after the game: “It's been a long time coming. We thoroughly deserved it.

“The hard work on the training field has come to fruition. The manager's ideas finally clicked into place.

“When you play away from home it's always difficult but at home it's different. The fans were great.

“It's massively important to build on this - it's a make-or-break week."
