to draw 2-2 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Ayoze Perez has challenged his Newcastle United team-mates
to replicate their performance against Chelsea in future Premier
League matches.
Perez was on target as Newcastle surrendered a two-goal lead
in their 2-2 draw at home to champions Chelsea on Saturday.
Newcastle were up 2-0 on the hour-mark thanks to Perez and
Georginio Wijnaldum before Chelsea hit back through Brazilian
duo Ramires and Willian, who equalised with four minutes
remaining.
Perez and Co. remain winless after seven league matches and
just a point above bottom spot, but the Spanish forward said his
team-mates have now set a standard that they must sustain.
"It was a very good performance and we deserved to win," Perez
told nufc.co.uk.
"We had the win in our hands but at the end we dropped it.
"I am very happy to have got my first goal of the season but
also really sad because we dropped two points.
"It was a good time to score, just before half-time. It made us
confident, and the second goal as well helped that even more.
"The pressure came off me a little. I am a striker and I have to
score goals, so it felt very good.
"We have to make sure that we're like this every single game
against every team. That is what we have to think and that is
how we have to work.
"This is our standard. This is what we have to keep and there
are no excuses because we have shown we can play to this
level."
