Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton wants his side to pick themselves up after Tuesday night's demoralising 3-0 loss at Derby County.

The high-flying Magpies run of 15 games unbeaten was smashed as Rob Hulse, Kris Commons and Shaun Barker goals knocked them off top spot.

Coupled with West Bromwich Albion's win against Scunthorpe United, the top two have now traded places and Hughton was less than impressed after the Pride Park setback.

He said: "We've got to look at ourselves. If we've got ambitions to get promotion we've got to go to places like here (Derby) and get something.

"We have to take it on the chin, congratulate Derby on a victory and make sure that it doesn't happen again."
