Jacob Ramsey fires Newcastle United to a rare away win to give head coach Eddie Howe a timely boost and keep the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank.

61 points was enough for Brighton to secure an 8th place finish last year, although Crystal Palace ’s victory in the FA Cup final ensured that the Seagulls would miss out on playing in Europe. Newcastle United would need to take 25 points from their 12 remaining matches to reach that total.

From a corner, the ball made its way to Sunderland midfielder Trai Hume, who floated a ball towards centre-forward Brian Brobbey. Brobbey was tussling with Arsenal midfielder Zubimendi but had begun his movement ahead of him and was deemed offside, with the cross sailing out of play in any case.

Eddie Howe savours a "special connection" with fans after Newcastle win on the road at Spurs - in direct contrast to Tottenham's relationship with their manager.
