Newcastle Shatters Liverpool's Top-4 Dreams with Dominant 4-1 Victory over Brighton

Newcastle have made a big step towards a long-awaited return to the Champions League. On Thursday night, they defeated Brighton 4-1.

Now, Liverpool who are still harbouring hopes of breaking through into the Champions League area are four points behind Newcastle with two games to go.

Thanks to a superior goal difference, the Magpies will probably need just two points in the remaining two games to finish in the top four.

Man United are still just one point ahead of Liverpool in fourth - but they still have a game in hand and need to drop points at least twice in the remaining three games.
