Fabian Schar insists Newcastle United can “play a lot better” and is desperate to reach the “next level” after victory over Wolves on Sunday.
The Magpies came from a goal down to beat Wolves 2-1 at Molineux thanks to two brilliant long-range strikes from Schar and Harvey Barnes.
Newcastle are now second and unbeaten with 10 points from four Premier League games so far.
However, Eddie Howe’s men have not been too convincing, with all three wins coming by a single goal along with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth at the end of August.
Fabian Schar urges Newcastle to reach ‘next level’
However, Newcastle are finding a way to extract results. Now, Schar has challenged his teammates to step up and challenge for the European spots again.
“I think we started the game quite well and then we dropped a bit with our level and then at half-time we said we had to improve. Two big goals and a big win when you’re away and down. It’s massive for us,” Schar told Sky Sports after Sunday’s win (via BBC Sports).
“We can play much better. At the moment it’s great that we’re getting the results and we need to be more consistent throughout the game. We want to go to the next level.
“We know the feeling of playing European football, but we are not there, so we focus on the league. There’s a lot to achieve and I’m looking forward to the season.”
Next up for Newcastle is an away trip to Fulham on Saturday.
