Eddie Howe has spoken of his delight after Newcastle United qualified for the Champions League.
Howe admitted that he had not even considered the top four as a pre-season target and was preparing for consolidation in the top-flight. But he was full of praise for Newcastle as they achieved an incredible feat.
When asked what his aims were last summer, Howe told Sky Sports: "It certainly wasn’t top-four. You always have to hope and dream but we didn’t feel we were ready for that after battling relegation.
