Newcastle won an important victory to open up the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season, an additional three points made Newcastle firmly in third place in the EPL standings with 69 points from 36 matches. Newcastle only need three additional points from the last two matches to ensure a Champions League ticket. Brighton who came to St James' Park in high spirits after winning against Arsenal, meant nothing in front of Newcastle. The enthusiasm and beautiful game of the Newcastle players managed to keep Brighton from moving at St James' Park.
Next Newcastle will face Leicester City in match 37, three points are their target to secure their position in order to remain in the top four list of the standings as well as lead them to qualify for the Champions league after being acquired by new owners.
I'm pretty sure Newcastle will play in the Champions League next season because they only need one more win to secure their current position and their opponents in the remaining two games are not stronger than Brighton, because Chelsea and Leicester will be easier for Newcastle to beat unless they overconfidence so that they appear by underestimating their opponents later. Newcastle will accompany Manchester City and Arsenal to compete in the champions league next season, while Man United still needs 2 wins to stay in the top four even though the 3 opposing teams will not be strong teams, it is not impossible to beat Man United, who sometimes appear inconsistent, thus disrupting their top four targets.
Newcastle's victory gives hope for Liverpool to be able to play in the European league more widely open because it means that it will be increasingly difficult for Brighton to catch Liverpool with 3 remaining matches to face and moreover, there will be two matches that will have a high level of difficulty for Brighton to get points against Manchester City and also when it will face Aston Villa.
Brighton has wasted the opportunity to be able to compete in the European league next season, the start of the season was quite impressive but slowly they started having trouble keeping their performances at their best level. The last two defeats with a lot of scores were very unfortunate for Brighton to experience, which is why in order to be able to maintain their best performance until the end of the season, clubs in the English Premier League need not only wins at the start but also important moments at the end of the season, and Brighton was unable to do so.
