Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson admits confidence has grown exponentially after Saturday's win over Burnley.

The Magpies secured their first victory of the season and are now just three points from safety.

Wilson told the BBC's The Footballer's Football Podcast : "All of a sudden, we're looking up the table. The table's looking better all of a sudden.

"It's been difficult, it has been a tough period for us. I think as a team we've all stuck in there, dug deep, everyone has stayed together and stayed positive.

"You get the outcome you desire when you focus on the process. For me, I'd love a goal but at the minute it's all about the team and getting those three points.

"Thankfully, we got both on the same night which was nice. Having got our first win of the season, you come off and you end up doing TV straight away.

"You don't get to have that initial first five minutes in the dressing room. You go back in and everyone is still sitting there, the manager has not spoken.

"I think everyone was relieved, but no-one was bouncing around or stuff like that. It's three games in a week, it had finished everyone off especially the lads who had played 90 minutes every game.

"I think it was just one of those of exhaustion but also happiness. We just sat down, took in what had just happened and it was a nice feeling.

"The manager had his word to say and we had a team photo which was nice to top it off. Just something to have around the place and look at to remember that moment, and how that felt."
