Rafa Benitez believes the 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday may just be what his Newcastle United side needed.
Matt Ritchie's second-half strike was enough to earn a memorable victory against the Premier League's second-ranked team.
The win puts the Magpies in 13th place, two points above the relegation zone. And Benitez is hopeful his team can take the momentum into their next fixture.
"[The win gives us] confidence for the rest of the season," Benitez told Sky Sports.
"My message before the game was very clear. We knew Huddersfield had won, we needed to carry on and do our job and still we have 11 games to play and we have to play with the same team spirit.
"When you play a top side like Manchester United you know every ball is important because if you make a mistake they will punish you. You have to work like they did today, it was an amazing effort.
"We were doing well for a while and then we were defending but the teamwork and the way they fought for every ball was amazing. I am really pleased for the players and the fans because we did it here at home.
"We have had some games where in the last five or 10 minutes where we have conceded and today we were a bit lucky in some of the shots they had.
"But still the team worked so hard and in this kind of game anything can happen. We showed the character, passion and commitment that we have shown for the rest of the season."
