Magpies striker Demba Ba has welcomed his return to goalscoring habits this season which has made him the current Premier League top goalscorer.
The star striker has started in sizzling form scoring 6 goals domestically and he believes that he has finally recovered from the hangover he endured from the African Cup of nations in January.
“I needed two months after the tournament to recover from it,” admitted the Newcastle United striker in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Senegal lost all three of their group games including a surprising defeat to Equatorial Guinea which the striker found a bitter pill to swallow.
He went on to to say how he had no intention of repeating the barren goal drought that followed after the competition and that he needs to keep adding “hard work” to his games to consistently deliver the results he has initially achieved this season.
Ba will be looking to put in a similar performance to the one he gave last season when Manchester United visit the Sports Direct Arena this Sunday.
