Newcastle United defender Ciaran Clark have urged teammates to stay positive after defeat to Arsenal.

The Magpies have taken only one point from a possible 15 in their opening five Premier League games.

Clark told NUFC TV: "At the end of the day, we are obviously not picking up any points and that's the most frustrating thing because all we want to do is win games and pick up points no matter who we are playing.

"We knew it was going to be tough coming into the first set of fixtures and we have just been pure unlucky.

"In every game, we could have taken at least a point out of the game, so we have got to keep our chins up, keep going and get back to training on Monday and start again."
