It goes down to the last game of the season for the Magpies. They need to win to ensure survival, with Hull two points behind them. The Magpies play West Ham at home while Hull are at home to Manchester United.
There is a pitch invasion of sorts at Loftus Road. FA investigation?
The relegated side end their home campaign with victory. They deserved it after a great second-half performance.

QPR midfielder Joey Barton: Looking forward to the game today. Toon Army in town. Important we bounce back from poor showing last week at City.
Barton also paid tribute to former QPR player Rodney Marsh on his account. I think that's what he was doing.
So Steve Wilson has just highlighted that these two teams have not been very good this year. Read what QPR's director of football Les Ferdinand said on BBC Radio 5 live about his club's relegation.
Where QPR stand if the £60m fine is imposed:
"We'll not be in a good position. It's a situation where we have gone down to the Championship and we will have to cut our cloth accordingly.
Whether the club needs a few consolidation years in the Championship:
"Talking about what's happened in the past, one thing I will say is that the owners - they've done what they thought was right. Everything they've done, they've done with the right intentions. Unfortunately we've got it badly wrong. But the intention to do things right was what it was all about. We've found ourselves in this situation now and like I said we need to regroup and realise what this club is and where it is, and the best way forward for the club. Hopefully we'll do this.
Whether QPR have to start again:
"Yes. I think if you look at our development squad and the youth team, we haven't had someone come through and play in the first team on a consistent basis for 16 years now. And that's unheard of for a club like QPR. We get 18,000 supporters in this stadium every other week and they do a fantastic job when they come here. But realistically that's what we get through the turnstiles. So we can't afford to go out and spend £20m on players. We need to start regrouping and producing a crop of players who can play for this club."
What will happen to manager Chris Ramsey:
"I think we'll wait until the end of the season, I think the financial fair play will play a big role on where we need to go and what we're able to do. But for now we'll hopefully put in a good performance after what happened at Manchester City last weekend. So come the end of the season we'll have to regroup and look at the best way forward for QPR."

John Carver. Newcastle caretaker coach. Also known as "the best coach in the Premier League", although he says what he said was taken out of context. If your tongue-in-cheek is with a very straight face John, then perhaps it was.
Anyway, his side are two points above the relegation zone and might need to win these last two games of the season to survive. They cancelled their end-of-season party - this is serious.
So will Carvs prove his worth at Loftus Road today? A Loftus Road which has endured more painful sights this season than even St James' Park.
QPR are already down, so surely they won't be too bothered about putting up a fight. You would have thought.
