Newcastle United's comprehensive 4-1 win at Everton has all but secured their place in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League.
That is the view of former England and Man City defender Joleon Lescott, who believes the confidence with which Newcastle are playing with right now, as well as the comparative fixture lists of their top four rivals, means the Magpies will secure their place in the Champions League group stages for the first time since the 2002/03 season.
A brace from Callum Wilson, as well as goals from Joelinton and Jacob Murphy ensured the Magpies secured a seventh win in their last eight matches to stretch the gap between themselves and fifth placed Tottenham to eight points with a game in hand.
