GOAL! Newcastle 3 Swansea 0 - Andros TownsendWell that is game over. Mitrovic plays in Townsend who slips the ball under Fabianski to grab all three points.

2 - Heurelho Gomes is the first goalkeeper in Premier League history to save two penalties in two different Premier League games. Lifesaver.

Right attention turns now to Chelsea v Man City, which strangely considering how close we are to the end of the season is a fairly meaningless game. Only City with a theoretical if highly unlikely chance of winning the league. Teams coming up...
