Newcastle United midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has insisted that his side have to build on the first win of the Premier League season in their Wear-Tyne derby showdown against Sunderland.
The Dutchman scored four goals for the Magpies to fire them to a 6-2 victory over Norwich City at St James' Park to ease the pressure on manager Steve McClaren.
Wijnaldum is adamant that his side have to use the win as a platform to end their losing streak against their bitter rivals Sunderland, which stretches back five matches.
He is quoted as saying by The Mirror: "We have to do it every week. We have to win a few games in a row. That will be the challenge, not just in 45 minutes or in one game, in a lot of games.
"When I walk down the street or go into the supermarket, Newcastle fans talk to me.
"They talk directly about this game against Sunderland. I have already seen how much impact this game has for supporters. I see what they want from the players, we must try to win this game."
Newcastle are 18th in the Premier League following their victory.
