Gary Neville on Newcastle:
“I remember Newcastle when they were right up there challenging for the title. This is the best I’ve seen it in probably 10 or 11 years working; the feeling, the energy in the stadium - St James’ Park is back.”

Cristiano Ronaldo, David De Gea 8/10 as Man Utd get back to winning ways
Manchester United kept their European hopes alive as Ralf Rangnick’s side returned to winning ways with a vital 2-0 win over 10-man Brighton on Tuesday.
The Red Devils were poor in the first half and could have been dead and buried had the visitors taken the chances. The best of them fell to Jakub Moder, who was twice spectacularly thwarted by David de Gea either side of a Jadon Sancho effort.
But United upped the ante after the break, and the Seagulls undid all their hard work in a frantic three minutes as Cristiano Ronaldo finished emphatically before Lewis Dunk was dismissed for hauling down Anthony Elanga.
The men in red continued to live dangerously, and Moder shook the home crossbar, but Bruno Fernandes struck with virtually the last kick of the game as United finally clung to a lead.
