Newcastle United now need just a point to qualify for the Champions League after Liverpool were held at home to Aston Villa.
Although, Liverpool would need to see Newcastle lose both of their last two matches and notch a major goal difference boost away to Southampton in their final game to overtake them.
On a nervous day at Anfield, Ollie Watkins put a penalty wide for Villa in the first half on 22 minutes. But Villa went ahead five minutes later after poor defending from the Reds with Jacob Ramsey taking advantage following a Douglas Luiz cross.
