New victory for Newcastle, which already caresses salvation

Newcastle added a new victory, this Sunday against Leicester (9th) on the 33rd date, taking another step towards remaining in the Premier League for another year despite the problems that the ‘Magpies’ have been dragging during the season .

With 37 points, the black and white team occupies 14th place, and already has a cushion of twelve units ahead of the relegation places, marked by Burnley.

Despite spending the first leg of the season in relegation places, Newcastle are completing a strong second round since becoming the property of a Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund.

Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman put Leicester ahead in the 19th minute but Brazilian Bruno Guimarães, signed in the January window, left the three points at St. James Park thanks to a brace (30, 95).

Upon reaching the halfway point of the competition, on the 19th date, Newcastle was penultimate with 11 points, and saw salvation at five points.

In the other game played this Sunday, West Ham (7th), brand new Europa League semi-finalists after eliminating Lyon on Thursday, did not go from a draw to one at home against Burnley (18th).

The 33rd day has seen four of its matches postponed (Aston Villa-Liverpool, Leeds-Chelsea, Everton-Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton-Manchester City) because this weekend the semifinals of the English Cup are also played.
