    Newcastle full-back Kieran Trippier to Sky Sports: "It means everything. I took a risk when I first arrived but I always believed in every decision I made.

    "We've bounced back well, we've recovered well. The club has been through a tough moment but now we're reaping the rewards."

    Newcastle United join Manchester City and Arsenal in next season's Champions League.

    They move onto 70 points in third place.

    Leicester, meanwhile, will be relegated if Everton beat Bournemouth next weekend. They are two points from safety at the moment.

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff speaking to Sky Sports: "I can't put it into words to be honest. If you told us two years ago this was going to happen, we wouldn't have believed you.

    "We've beaten Juventus here 1-0 [in the Champions League], you see it on old DVDs.

    "To be a part of this, I'm buzzing to be fair."

    Twenty years of memories for Newcastle fans. Sir Bobby Robson has a statue outside for taking them to the Champions League. And now they are back.

    An incredible moment. An amazing noise as the players do their lap of honour.

    They did it the hard way, though. Oooft.

  5. 'It wasn't really what they wanted'published at 22:03 British Summer Time 22 May 2023

    I think Leicester will be satisfied.

    It wasn't pretty and they got what they came for. It was a clean sheet and a point, but it is not really want they wanted.

    They lost Jonny Evans for Sunday, who had a very good game tonight.

    If Everton win on Sunday, Leicester will be relegated.

    "Na, na, na, na, Popey" sing the Newcastle fans.

    There are some fans in tears. Miguel Almiron brings his young son onto the pitch to score a goal which gets a huge cheer.

    Newcastle fans are not going anywhere. The fans are still completely packed in as the players take a lap of honour.

    They are going to be in Europe with the big boys next season for the first time in 20 years.

    It erupted at St James' Park on the final whistle. Nick Pope was surrounded by his team-mates.

    Eddie Howe congratulates all of his players individually and the fans are celebrating in the stands.

    Leicester came so, so close to pulling off the most genius of gameplans but settle for a point knowing they must beat West Ham on Sunday to give them a chance of staying up.

    All over!

    Newcastle have secured their place in next season's Champions League.

    Leicester have a point but they have some work to do to confirm their safety in the Premier League on the final day.

    Luke Thomas tries to slide it through to Patson Daka but Nick Pope races across to gobble it up.

    The Newcastle goalkeeper has had absolutely nothing to do for 92 minutes and has just made a save which might confirm Newcastle's place in the Champions League.

    Unreal.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 90+2 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Leicester

    A massive, massive save from Nick Pope!

    Leicester play the free-kick short, James Maddison whips it in and Timothy Castagne smashes a volley at him.

    Pope, somehow, pushes it away. It's a brilliant save and Leicester were inches away from nicking it!

    You wouldn’t know that Newcastle are now five stoppage time minutes away from Champions League qualification against a side who are yet to have a shot.

    St James’ Park is nervous. Very nervous.

    We’ll make Anthony Gordon a deal. All is forgiven if he gets the winner.

    Sloppiness creeping in now. Fabian Schar gives it away and Kieran Trippier ends up fouling Harvey Barnes.

    Leicester take a pot shot from half way which hits Nick Pope in the side of the head while he’s reading his novel and just trickles over the line for a 1-0 win up the Foxes

    Here comes Anthony Gordan for Miguel Almiron for Newcastle.

    Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi has gone down injured and so he's having to be replaced by Nampalys Mendy.
