Sheffield Wednesday kept ahead in the race for the Sky Bet Championship play-offs by inflicting a rare away defeat on Newcastle as they won 2-1 at Hillsborough.
The Owls, who were dislodged from the top six by a Fulham win earlier in the day, regained their position as second-half headers from Tom Lees and Steven Fletcher earned a first league double over the Magpies since 1986-87.
This was a first loss on the road since January 2 for Rafael Benitez's men, though they made a game of it in the final few minutes with a deserved goal for Jonjo Shelvey.
