Eddie Howe had his Jurgen Klopp moment with Newcastle United fans after the players had finished showing their appreciation to 3,000 singing Geordies at Stamford Bridge.
It was a moment which felt like weeks of pressure had finally been lifted on the normally calmer figure of Howe but one he richly deserved. For all the noise at Chelsea from the Newcastle contingent, it was Howe's salute to supporters that got the loudest roar of the day.
On an afternoon that fans had remastered Status Quo's Rockin' All Over the World song to fit in the names of Howe and his assistant Jason Tindall the pair looked on cloud nine as they celebrated finishing fourth. Don't forget Klopp had been cranking up the pressure on Newcastle in recent weeks and did not ditch his own fist pumping during an excellent run of form.
