The Magpies drew with Manchester United and Watford before picking up three consecutive wins against Leeds United, Everton and Aston Villa. A draw at West Ham United stopped the streak of victories but Eddie Howe’s side returned to winning ways at Brentford before beating Brighton and Southampton.
The run has seen United climb from 19th to 14th in the table, 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Newcastle have now gone on their longest winless run and longest unbeaten run in over a decade, all in the same season. A fact that epitomises the club’s turnaround under Howe.
Here we look at Newcastle’s longest unbeaten runs in the Premier League over the course of the same season. We won’t be including the 11 or 17 game unbeaten streaks in the Championship in 2016-17 and 2009-10 respectively, only Premier League matches since the club were promoted in 1993.

Newcastle had already gone on a seven match unbeaten run earlier in the 2001-02 season under Sir Bobby Robson which included six wins and a draw. But at the end of that season, The Magpies won four and drew four to go eight unbeaten before being beaten on the final day against Southampton as they finished the season in fourth place.

The season that saw Newcastle's highest Premier League finish of the 21st Century also saw one of the club's longest Premier League unbeaten runs as they won seven and drew two of nine matches between December 2002 and March 2003. The run was ended by a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough but Sir Bobby Robson's side still ended the campaign in third place. Photo: Ross Kinnaird

The Magpies' 2-1 win at Southampton means they are currently on their longest unbeaten run in the Premier League in over a decade. Six wins and three draws has seen Eddie Howe's side climb up the table but the turnaround is made even more impressive due to the fact United had won just one game all season prior to the run. Hopefully it can be extended further against Chelsea this weekend. Photo: Luke Walker
