A disappointing defeat at St James’ Park means that finishing in the top four is no longer in our own hands.
After a lacklustre first half, the hosts went ahead after the break through a Ben White own goal. We threw caution to the wind after that, but our fate was sealed with Bruno Guimaraes fired home with our defenders desperately retreating.
It means we are relying on Norwich beating Tottenham on the final day of the season while we beat Everton.
In truth we were second best for most of the night. There was an early scare when Aaron Ramsdale got caught in possession by Miguel Almiron, but the ball screwed across the face of goal and wide.
