Newcastle Move Closer to Champions League with Brighton win

Newcastle united manager Eddie Howe says he will talk about the champions league “for fun” if his side secure qualification – but not before.

Howe’s team moved one win away from qualifying for Europe’s leading club competition with a deserved premier league victory against Brighton and hove Albion.

The win puts Newcastle on the cusp of a return to the champions league for the first time since they were knocked out at the qualifying stage in 2003-04.
