what Newcastle did was inseparable from their big motivation to be able to finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to the UCL and with the inconsistency of Manchester United and Tottenham, they were able to take very good use of the Newcastle team to continue to maintain their position.
I think Newcastle are playing pretty good right now and they have a very big chance to finish in the top 4 of the final standings.
Manchester United are underperforming at the moment and Tottenham are also inconsistent so it will be very profitable for Newcastle.
Manchester United and Newcastle City are likely to continue to compete, they are only one point apart and this is a very short point, will Manchester United be able to occupy 3rd place in the league and topple Newcastle down to the top 4 of the league standings, if Manchester United manages to beat Everton in in the next match, Manchester United will be in 3rd place in the league, meanwhile, Newcastle must also defend their position when they meet Aston Villa later. Tottenham, Manchester United and also Newcastle are struggling to maintain their position.
