An own goal from Deniz Undav, plus strikes from Dan Burn, Callum Wilson and Bruno Guimarães gave Newcastle a 4-1 win against Brighton
For Newcastle the equation is simple; win one of their remaining two games and Tyneside’s 20-year exile from the Champions League will be over.
After a defeat against Arsenal here and a draw at Leeds, Howe said he wanted his players to harness the “power of the crowd” and remind everyone they remain “a force”. Evidently heeding their manager’s words, Newcastle began with the sort of zeal which soon had De Zerbi’s side penned into their own half, gasping for breath.
Only Dunk, fighting a valiant rearguard effort at centre-half, and Jason Steele, once again demonstrating why he has displaced Spain’s Robert Sánchez in goal, were really that heavily involved in mounting a resistance effort.Photograph: Lee Smith/Action Images/Reuters De Zerbi said that leaving his fallen star behind “represented the best solution”. Yet had Sánchez made it to Tyneside he might have read an interview in the match programme with Newcastle’s Paul Dummett and just possibly felt a little ashamed of his behaviour.
