Rafa Benitez was delighted with his side’s 6-0 win at Queens Park Rangers – but warned that the Championship season has a long way to go yet.

The Magpies secured their biggest away win in the league in 54 years to leave fans singing and dancing at Loftus Road.

However, Benitez said after the game: “Maybe, it’s not the right thing to say, but we can improve. The team has done well.

“Everybody was pushing and working very hard but as always we made some mistakes.

“You have to make sure you control all of the games in a way that you have chances and they don’t have any.”

And when asked how he felt about coming so close to the biggest away win in the club’s history, he said: “The main thing for us was to get three points.

“As soon as the game was nearly won we needed to carry on and keep doing well. We also got the clean sheet. That was important for the defenders.

“The main thing was to get the three points and leave the fans happy for the next few days.”

Benitez allowed his players to enjoy the victory on the journey home just like he did at Derby on Saturday but now he wants full focus on the home game against Wolves this weekend.

He said: “I said before, we have to be sure we are concentrating for every game. Now I will say the same.

“It doesn’t matter if you score six goals, you get three points in the end. We have to be sure we enjoy it, but after concentrate on the next one.

“This is a very difficult competition, but we have to carry on and not lose the concentration.”
