As the battle for the Premier League top four intensifies, Newcastle managed to maintain their third position in the ranking following their remarkable comeback against Southampton, which saw them win 3-1 at Saint James Park on Sunday. The Saints took the lead just before the break thanks to a goal from Stuart Armstrong.
However, Newcastle’s substitute, Callum Wilson, scored two goals for his team, and Theo Walcott’s own goal sealed their victory. Despite Manchester United having two games in hand, Newcastle remains two points ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Southampton is still at the bottom of the league table, six points away from safety, and they will be facing relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest in their next match.
