Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe insists his team could still do "anything" this season when asked if they can stay in the title race.
The Magpies stormed into a 3-0 lead after 32 minutes and now find themselves in second place in the Premier League. Whether they can maintain their form remains to be seen but the fact is only a late win for Liverpool back in August is the only dent on Newcastle's league record this term.
When asked about what the team can achieve, Howe said: "We can do anything. The season is still young enough for all possibilities to exist for us. I want the fans to believe we can do anything."

When asked about his team's performance today, Howe said: "Coming here knowing how difficult it was going to be, the start was really important to us. The first half an hour we were excellent. It's a trademark goal for Miggy [Miguel Almiron] and a really good team move.
"Leicester showed their quality in the second half and it was difficult to get the ball. I was keen for us to go on and control the game more. But I do think we minimised their threat. Credit to the team, it's another clean sheet and that's important."
