An incredible end to Fulham’s Sunday afternoon clash at Aston Villa has kept Newcastle United out of the relegation zone.
Aleksandar Mitrovic had given the away side a second half lead after an awful mistake from Tyrone Mings – a strike that left us in the bottom three on goal difference with 13 minutes remaining – however Scott Parker’s side crumbled in the latter stages to lose 3-1.
Goals from Trezeguet in the 78th and 81st minute suddenly made it 2-1, while a late tap in from Ollie Watkins secured the win all NUFC fans were hoping for.
This comes after Joe Willock’s 85th minute equaliser helped us to a deserved 2-2 draw against Spurs at St James’ Park.
Here’s the updated Premier League table at the bottom, along with Fulham, Newcastle and Brighton’s remaining fixtures:
Newcastle (8 games) – Burnley (A), West Ham (H), Liverpool (A), Arsenal (H), Leicester (A), Man City (H), Sheffield United (H), Fulham (A).
