Newcastle United sealed their golden ticket to the Champions League despite Everton securing a deserved victory at St James' Park. Eddie Howe's side started the day in fourth place in the Premier League and on course for Europe's elite competition, but looked in danger of missing out as they produced a performance riddled with nerves. Everton, in 13th place before kick-off after their rejuvenation under manager David Moyes, were more composed and ordered, taking the lead through Carlos Alcaraz's header after 65 minutes.

Newcastle's supporters were in a state of high anxiety until news filtered through that Manchester United were ahead against Aston Villa, sparking scenes of wild delight inside St James' Park when the final result of that game came through. Defeat means the Magpies end the season in fifth place, edging out Aston Villa on goal difference - enough to secure a place in the Champions League next season, with the Premier League's allocation up from the usual four spots.

Declan Rice's second half winner saw Newcastle United beaten at Arsenal on Sunday - and meant the Magpies' quest for Champions League qualification will go all the way to the final day of the season. The England midfielder's eyecatching 25-yarder was all that separated the sides at the Emirates Stadium as Eddie Howe's side missed the chance to leapfrog the Gunners into second place in the Premier League table. United wrap up the campaign against Everton at St. James' Park next weekend and, following this defeat in North London, they will have to wait until the conclusion of that contest to know with certainty which European competition they will be competing in next term.

Newcastle United moved within touching distance of Champions League football next season with a crucial victory against 10-man Chelsea at St James' Park. The Magpies and Chelsea started the day locked on the same 63-point tally before Newcastle got the perfect start when Sandro Tonali's close-range finish gave them the lead after just 112 seconds. The visitors' task was made even harder when striker Nicolas Jackson was rightly sent off for a needless forearm smash on Newcastle defender Sven Botman 10 minutes before the break. Newcastle survived to wrap up a priceless three points in stoppage time when Bruno Guimaraes' strike took a deflection off Malo Gusto and looped over keeper Robert Sanchez.

Alexander Isak earned a draw for Newcastle with a late penalty against Brighton at Amex Stadium. Brighton were on course for a narrow win as they led through Yankuba Minteh with stoppage time approaching. Newcastle had been awarded two penalties that were overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR) before being handed a third when Yasin Ayari used his arm to block Fabian Schar's free-kick. After a lengthy review, the on-field decision stood and Isak coolly converted to take his tally in the league to 23 goals for the season. A draw was fully deserved for Newcastle as they pushed and probed throughout the encounter on the south coast.

Newcastle United recorded a fifth consecutive Premier League victory at St. James' Park following a 3-0 win against ten-man Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon.

Alexander Isak's penalty on the stroke of half-time sent the hosts ahead following a frantic first-half, which saw Ipswich defender Ben Johnson sent off after picking up two yellow cards. Dan Burn's second-half header doubled the hosts' advantage before William Osula netted his first Premier League goal in the closing stages as Eddie Howe's side moved into third place of the English top-flight, with the Tractor Boys subsequently relegated to the Championship.

Newcastle United's six-game winning run came to an end on Saturday as they suffered a 4-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Ollie Watkins put the visitors ahead after 33 seconds before Fabian Schär - who scored twice at Villa Park in last season's 3-1 win - levelled for the Magpies. But three goals after the break saw Unai Emery's side deservedly take the points, with Ian Maatsen, a Dan Burn own goal and Amadou Onana ensuring that the visitors' fine run of form ended in the Midlands.

Newcastle United roared to third place in the Premier League - and closer to Champions League qualification - with a crushing victory over Crystal Palace at St James' Park. Still without manager Eddie Howe, who continues to recover from pneumonia, the Magpies delivered a ruthless first-half display to race to a 4-0 lead and deal another blow to the Eagles' own hopes of playing in Europe next season. Alexander Isak, who had only scored once in past six games, bagged his 25th goal of the season when Joelinton robbed possession from Lacroix and the Sweden striker planted a fine 25-yard finish into the bottom corner. The success was Newcastle's biggest of the season and moved them two points clear of Nottingham Forest and four behind second-placed Arsenal with six games left.

Harvey Barnes' second half brace helped Newcastle United record their fifth win in a row as they sealed an emphatic 4-1 win over Manchester United at St. James' Park on Sunday. The Magpies - led by Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones after head coach Eddie Howe was admitted to hospital on Friday - led through Sandro Tonali's volley, but Alejandro Garnacho levelled for Ruben Amorim's men before half time. The equaliser proved only a minor setback for United, who had dominated the first period, but there could be no doubting who had the upper hand after the break as Barnes' brilliance brought those in black and white back to the fore. The 27-year-old's two strikes put the hosts in complete command on Tyneside before Bruno Guimarães rolled home a fourth to add further gloss to a terrific victory - and one which will surely have provided the absent Howe with some much-needed tonic.
