Newcastle United will return to the European elite by participating in the Champions League next season after an absence of 20 years, after a goalless draw at home against struggling Leicester City to ensure the end of the season in the golden square of the English Premier League.
This was not the result that Newcastle fans wanted at home, after the team dominated the match from start to finish, but did not score..
But they will not bother themselves much with thinking after the team achieved their dream of playing in the Champions League.
Newcastle had 23 attempts against one for Leicester, but the goal frame prevented him from scoring on three occasions, while the visiting team struggled to come up with a point that maintains its hopes of staying before the last round of matches next Sunday..
Newcastle, led by coach Eddie Howe, ranks third with 70 points from 37 games, four points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool, who have played the same number of matches..
Manchester United, fourth, has 69 points, but has played 36 matches.
Leicester moved up a place above Leeds United on goal difference but remain 18th and must beat West Ham United on Sunday in the hope that 17th-placed Everton fail to beat Bournemouth..
And after Leicester struggled most of the match to prevent conceding, the team suddenly came to life in stoppage time and almost scored a goal by Timote Castagne had it not been for the brilliance of goalkeeper Nick Pope..
