Newcastle United saved the best to last in their final home game of the campaign. It was supposed to be Arsenal playing for a place in the top four but, on Monday night's evidence, it was the Magpies who looked like the side fighting for a place at Europe's top table following a superb 2-0 victory at St James' Park.
Forget beating Arsenal - it had been nearly four years since Newcastle had even managed to score a goal against the Gunners. That's what made the manner of this victory so impressive - regardless of how poor the visitors were.
The relentless hosts simply did not let Arsenal settle and put in their best all-round performance yet under Eddie Howe as they were roared on by more 49,000 Geordies on another special night under the lights. As well as dominating possession, territory and the shot count, crucially, Newcastle made their dominance count in the second half.
