Eddie Howe reserved praise for Callum Wilson in the wake of Newcastle's 4-1 thrashing of Brighton, saying the striker produced one of his best performances to help his side close on a Champions League place.
The Magpies now require just one win from their two remaining matches - at home to Leicester on Monday, live on Sky Sports, and away to Chelsea on May 28 - to secure a return to the Champions League group stages for the first time in 20 years.
Brighton were chasing an equaliser at St James' Park until the 90th minute, when Wilson breached Brighton's offside trap to race onto Miguel Almiron's through ball and slide a finish past Jason Steele to secure the three points.
