As it happened: Newcastle storm-ble back...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Relive a very nervy closing day as it happened with the PotT team.

A two-nill win against a tricky opponent with a nerve-settling first-half goal from the leader in central midfield and a penalty from the team's world-class striker... Manchester City strolled back into the Champions League at Fulham.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, made a right meal of it. Defeat at home to Everton saw them, at one stage, fall from fourth to sixth (outside the Champions League places). Step forward ***checks notes*** Sunderland and Manchester United hero Amad Diallo!?!

All's well that ends well, they say, and we were able to reflect on the most remarkable season in recent history and perhaps the best second-half of a season full stop.
