Ritchie also hopes the win over Man City can be the springboard for a strong end to the season, as Newcastle look to guarantee their Premier League safety.It was a massive three points and obviously because it was against the champions it feels that much better, but its only three points and we need to build on it now,” he said.Weve got a tough run-in, but hopefully the result last night have give us hope and confidence.Listen back to Newcastle United winger Matt Ritchie on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
