Newcastle United could require five more Premier League victories to secure a place in next season's Champions League.
Beating Tottenham Hotspur 6-1 at St James' Park means that United arguably already have one foot under the Europe's top table next season.
A six-point gap means that Spurs, Aston Villa, Liverpool or Brighton will require title winning form to catch Eddie Howe's Magpies, and Newcastle would have to completely implode in the last seven matches of the season.
