Rafa Benítez targets one more win to secure Premier League safety
Rafa Benítez targets one more win to secure Premier League safety | OneFootball
Newcastle United boss Rafa Benítez believes his team are within touching distance of Premier League safety.
A draw on Saturday took the north-east club to 35 points, just five short of the mythical 40-point mark that is usually earmarked to avoid relegation.

“We have to keep going, the job is not done,” Benítez said after the game.
“We have to keep winning games.
“I think it could be 38 points (to stay up), it depends. Obviously, 40 is guaranteed for me.
“I think 38 will be enough, so we have to keep winning if we can.”
Newcastle have won five of their last nine league games, a run which has seen them climb the table.
Next up for the Magpies, after this month’s international break, is a trip south to face Arsenal.
