Newcastle United supporters are over the moon after their side took a step closer to securing Champions League football at St. James' Park next season. The Magpies had to come from behind to beat struggling Southampton, but beat Ruben Selles side 3-1 to take another big step towards European football.
It was the Premier League strugglers who opened the scoring through Stuart Armstrong, giving Southampton a deserved lead at the break. Callum Wilson replaced Anthony Gordon at half-time, with the January arrival squandering two golden chances inside the first-half.
The Newcastle number nine equalised just nine minutes after coming on, converting Alexander Isak's low cross from close range. Wilson had a goal chalked off by VAR for offside before a Theo Walcott own goal handed the Magpies the lead.
