Manchester City put aside their shocking loss to Southampton over the weekend putting up another world class win against Steve Bruce side.
The Algerian believes everyone in Pep Guardiola side has the tendency to find the back of the net.
Speaking on Manchester City website, Mahrez said: “That's our team – [we know] that everyone can score - everyone has the quality to score.
“For me, I want to try to help the team and score the most goals that I can."
City got the lead in 10th minute with Gabriel Jesus followed by Mahrez second as he was assisted by Kevin De Bruyne to record his 18th assist of the season.
Meanwhile, Steve Bruce were unfortunate as Newcastle’s Federico Fernandez scored an own goal in the 58th minute before Silva netted his brace.
He continued: “It’s not easy but we made it easy by scoring early in the game. And after we had more control and could try to score more goals.
“I think we played good [at Southampton but] we missed a lot of chances, today we scored - that's the difference."
David Silva later set up Raheem 3for the fifth late in the game to complete the victory.
Mahrez concluded:“We need to keep it up and to keep working and helping the team to improve so we arrive in the best form in the important games for us.”
If you recall that he joined Manchester City in 2018 for a fee of £60m on a a five-year contract.
Mahrez’s goal against Magpies was his 10th in the Premier League this season.
Mahrez now has 12 goals and 15 assists in 44 competitive matches this season.
Manchester City will face Brighton and Hove Albion, Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City in their remaining league fixtures.
