Newcastle United hit the 40 points total and all-but sealed Premier League safety with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Miguel Almiron’s only goal of the game midway through the first-half moved the Magpies into 11th, level on points with 10th place Brighton.
It was sixth home win a row for Eddie Howe’s side, the first time that’s been done since the Sir Bobby Robson days.
Howe named an unchanged starting XI to the side that beat Leicester City 2-1 through Bruno Guimaraes’ injury-time winner.
The Brazilian scored a brace against the Foxes and versus Palace, he contributed yet again, this time assisting United’s opener.
His ball over the top was latched onto by Almiron, who evaded the challenge of Tyrick Mitchell before producing a stunning finish into the top left corner on 33 minutes.
Here, Jordan Cronin dishes out his Newcastle player ratings from the win against Palace:
5. Matt Targett - 8
A faultless display. A threat from set pieces and marked Olise out the game, where Vieira replaced him on 40 minutes. And his replacement Ayew didn’t get a sniff. Playing his way into a permanent move, for sure. Photo: Naomi Baker
6. Jonjo Shelvey - 7
A key component in the midfield. Sat deep, won his tackles and covered plenty of ground, which freed up Joelinton and Bruno to do their stuff. Photo: Naomi Baker
7. Bruno Guimaraes - 8
Yet another bit of quality by Guimaraes to assist Almiron’s goal. The Brazilian took the ball down on his chest before fizzing the ball out to the left. Special, special player. Photo: George Wood
8. Joelinton - 7
A huge shift from Joelinton. Did a lot of the dirty work. | Getty Images
