Newcastle 0-1 Everton: Magpies book Champions League spot despite defeat – thanks to Man United’s win over Aston Villa

50,000 Newcastle fans in St James' Park can each go and deliver a handwritten letter to Ruben Amorim before they go home tonight.

Because it was the 2-0 victory of Manchester United on Aston Villa who secured the Magpies Champions League football, even though they lost 1-0 to Everton today.

Newcastle will play in Europe's Elite Club Competition next season, because their target difference was sufficient to secure them a fifth place in the Premier League.

The 65th minute winner of Carlos Alcaraz left Eddie Howe to the course of the Europa League football for the most of 20 minutes, before Amad Diallo opened the score in Old Trafford.

Christian Eriksen added a second, which Villa sent to beat next season and a place in the Europa League.
