Newcastle have conceded just three goals on their travels this season and Lascelles says the club’s defending is a team effort which starts with Dwight Gayle up front.
“Keeping clean sheets is my job, but it’s a team performance and it starts from the front with Dwight closing down,” said Lascelles.
“The midfielders were solid (against Leeds), and, again, the back four worked really well as a unit and Darlow was unbelievable.
“They’re a big, physical side and from crosses they looked dangerous.
“I’m really pleased for the boys. We’ve just got to prepare for the next game.”
