Moussa Sissoko is delighted with his thrilling start at Newcastle United.

Alan Pardew's men moved six points clear of the relegation zone as a result of their first back-to-back Barclays Premier League wins of the season, although January signing Sissoko knows there is still much hard work to do.

He said: "I am very happy, but we can't forget the fact that this was a team performance. The team worked together.

"I played well, but it was a team effort.

"We came away with three points as a team and I hope we can go away and continue to perform like that to climb up the Premier League as high as we possibly can."
