Newcastle United midfielder Vurnon Anita has urged his teammates to be more clinical in front of the goal if they want to reverse their fortunes in the Premier League.

The Magpies dominated the goalless home draw against Stoke City on Saturday, but they were denied by the heroics of Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland time and

time again.

"We played very good football, created a lot of chances and now we need to work on the finishing," Anita told Newcastle's official website.

"We had to respond with good football, a lot of chances, and at the back, we did very well and kept a clean sheet.

"We need to keep on working from the back and don't concede goals. Today, we did that well, but unfortunately we didn't score."
