Watch the full match replay of Brentford vs Newcastle
Newcastle finished with 60 points, three behind Chelsea and six behind fifth-placed Spurs. Newcastle’s goal difference of +23 was significantly higher than Manchester United’s -1 goal difference, but the Magpies will be upset as they finish eight points off the top four.
Brentford will be grateful to be able to rebuild their squad in the off-season, as injuries, poor defending and the long-term suspension of Ivan Toney kept the Bees in the relegation zone for much of the season. Thomas Frank’s men’s team finished 16th with 39 points.
A fun finish for a fun team
Newcastle and Brentford both dealt with season-altering suspensions for Sandro Tonali and Ivan Toney, as well as two injury lists who appeared unwilling to quit until the final whistle. Nevertheless, Thomas Frank and Eddie Howe attacked the opposition. Both men would choose a fun and dangerous place over a boring and safe place. Both teams have a lot to fix, there is uncertainty with Toney expected to leave Brentford, and Newcastle badly need depth (especially with City in the FA Cup). (if they won the Championship and pushed Newcastle into the Conference League). But on this night, the team went for it, and as usual with these two teams, fans and neutrals reaped the benefits.
