Newcastle finished in seventh position in the Premier League after a 4-2 win over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Magpies needed a win to guarantee they would finish above Manchester United and scored three goals in a brilliant first-half display. The Bees thought they had scored in the opening two minutes when Toney scored from close range, but VAR disallowed the goal for offside in the build-up. The visitors then scored three times before the break. Barnes headed in Guimaraes’ cross from the right to give them the lead before Isak assisted their second. He won possession off Pinnock and drove forward before sending a low cross towards Murphy, who slid in to score from close range. Isak then scored clinically into the bottom-left corner to give Newcastle complete control. Brentford got one back through Janelt soon after the restart, and Wissa scored an excellent goal to make it 3-2, but Guimaraes stopped their comeback with a reactive finish from close range. Newcastle created an xG of 3.41 and finished in seventh, with Brentford down in 16th. That's all for today, goodbye.

The stakes are far higher for Newcastle coming into this game, sat seventh in the table with a chance to overtake Chelsea above them in what could be the final European qualification spot. The Magpies do have a much better goal difference than the Blues and only need to better their corresponding result against Bournemouth, but also risk falling to eighth if their own result is worse than that of Manchester United’s at Brighton.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
15:34
Brentford are looking to finish a below-par season with a flourish, having won three of their last five matches to secure Premier League safety. A nine-game winless streak preceded this and saw the Bees drop from mid-table to 16th place, but if they can better Everton’s result against Arsenal on the final day, Thomas Frank’s side could leapfrog the Toffees into 15th spot.
