Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town
The full-time whistle blows at St James’ Park as Newcastle United brush aside Ipswich Town 3-0. The result means the Tractor Boys are officially relegated directly back to the Championship, joining the likes of Southampton and Leicester City. In contrast, the Toon Army move up to third in the Premier League table as they look to cement their place for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Goals from Alexander Isak, Dan Burn and substitute William Osula guaranteed the three points for the Magpies. It was made easier for the home side as the Blues suffered a setback in the first half with Ben Johnson sent off for receiving a second yellow card – the first for simulation and the second for pulling back Isak on the left-hand side of the pitch. The Magpies clinical finishing was reflected through an xG of 3.05, whereas the visitors’ lack of finishing in front of goal was highlighted through an xG of 0.12.
