Game over? I mean 'title race', but you know what I meant.

Follow the updates here.

Magpies chief Mike Ashley is chatting away with MD Lee Charnley inside Craven Cottage - what could they be talking about?

"Yes, I reckon £20m is fair for Rondon..."

"I might chuck in £100m for Rafa to spend once he signs his new deal next week..."

Or maybe not.

Back to the Cottage... that little burst by Fulham after the second goal appears to have subsided.

Newcastle look comfortable is the sunshine and the home side really need to pick themselves up again.

That came about 30 seconds after Glenn Murray's goal.

Brighton lead Manchester City 1-0!!!!!!!!!!

Liverpool lead Wolves 1-0!!!!!!!

As it stands...well you know.

Follow the drama here.

Floyd Ayite, now on the edge of the area, fires a shot that takes a deflection off the backside of Fabian Schar. It should have been a corner, but next week's Cup final ref Kevin Friend awards a goalkick.

It seems to fire up Aleksandar Mitrovic which results in Friend having a word with skipper Tom Cairney.

Aleksandar Mitrovic should have got that header on target!

Floyd Ayite delivers a great corner from the right and the ex-Newcastle man sends his stooping header a wide of Martin Dubravka's left-hand post.

A whisker or two, it was.

Jamaal Lascelles is the latest Newcastle defender to stretch himself to block a decent delivery from the left. Newcastle's defence has been tough to unlock under Benitez since the turn of the year.

Fulham and still stringing the passes together and Tom Cairney, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Floyd Ayite combine brilliantly before Newcastle just manage to clear from their area.

However, the damage has already been done without Newcastle barely lifting a finger.

The Cottagers are back on the attack - this time Floyd Ayite tries to get on the end of a cross from the left but just fails to get a good enough contact.

The home side obviously want to go out with a bang today. The fans are in great voice on this sunny day in west London.

Joe Bryan flings the ball into the area with the purpose of finding Aleksandar Mitrovic's head - he does but then the big Serb flicks his effort wide of Martin Dubravka's left-hand upright.

Jonjo Shelvey, back in the XI, tries his luck from the halfway line and misses the target by about four metres.

Just to let you know that Newcastle's Isaac Hayden is at right wing-back.

Scott Parker is announced as Fulham's new manager on the tannoy and gets a big cheer from the crowd inside the Cottage. Would have been embarrassing if they were jeers!

And we are now under way.

Fulham bid farewell to the Premier League on Sunday but they won't be saying goodbye to Scott Parker, who has landed the manager's job on a permanent basis, having overseen three wins from the last four games as caretaker.

It remains to be seen whether Newcastle's manager is still in charge next season, with the Toon fans desperate for Rafael Benitez to remain as talks continue about a new deal.

Meanwhile, both sides' star striker might be making their final appearance for the club, with Aleksandar Mitrovic tipped to leave Craven Cottage, external and Salomon Rondon's very successful loan spell on Tyneside coming to an end.

On Scott Parker becoming Fulham boss

I think it was hugely significant. That’s not to say they would have survived if it had happened earlier.

You saw a change. I’m pleased for him. He went to Spurs and put in a bit of a shift there.

But he fell on his feet with this job. There’s a lot of players who have gone further down at lesser clubs to try to start their managerial career.

All you can say is him coming into a relegated team takes the pressure off him a bit. And he’s got a tune out of them. He knows how to lead. I’m glad a club like that have given him an opportunity.

Scott Parker makes two changes to the Fulham XI that started in the 1-0 defeat at Wolves.

Tim Ream and Ryan Babel make way for Alfie Mawson and Floyd Ayite.

Full-back Denis Odoi remains out with concussion.

Fulham: Sergio Rico, Christie, Mawson, Le Marchand, Bryan, Chambers, Zambo, Ayite, Cairney, Ryan Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

Subs: Kebano, Babel, Ream, Ramirez, De La Torre, Steven Sessegnon, Elliott.

Newcastle also make two changes, from the line-up that started in the 3-2 defeat at home by Liverpool.

Ki Sung-yueng has a knee injury so in comes Mohamed Diame. Jonjo Shelvey joins him in midfield.

And Javier Manquillo is not in the matchday squad which probably means Matt Ritchie or Isaac Hayden will move into defence.

Academy graduates Lewis Cass and Kelland Watts make the bench.

Newcastle: Dubravka, Hayden, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett, Ritchie, Perez, Shelvey, Diame, Atsu, Rondon.

Subs:Clark, Muto, Kenedy, Fernandez, Darlow, Cass, Watts.

Nice guys do finish 19th, as is the case for newly appointed Fulham boss Scott Parker. However, perhaps the former midfielder is equipped to turn the tables next season.

I managed to speak to Parker a few years ago moments after he helped West Ham sneak past Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

He is courteous in the way footballers of a bygone era were, and will at least have the respect of whoever remains at Craven Cottage after what will no doubt be a Thanos-like snap of the fingers once the season ends.

Parker will want people in his guise, like those Benitez had when he brought Newcastle back up from the Championship a couple of seasons back.

Some of those remain at the club, and have repaid the Spaniard's faith in them twice in successive seasons.

This was Benitez on Parker in the build-up: "He's had enough games and the club are happy with him and the players are happy with him.

"He's had a long time in English football, so he knows the team, he knows the players - I think he's the right man."
