Newcastle United took an important step toward Premier League survival on Saturday as they beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at St James' Park to climb out of the bottom three for the first time since Valentine's Day.
A last-gasp penalty for Jermain Defoe salvaged a point for Sunderland away at Stoke City, though, so the Black Cats are just one point behind the Magpies with a game in hand and a much better goal difference.
In the race for the top four, West Ham United leapfrogged Manchester United on goal difference thanks to their 3-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion.
