The Magpies fell to Luton on Saturday, 1-0, at the home of a relegated Premier League side.
Robert Edwards couldn’t hold back a few tears amid all the hugs given to his players and staff. The Luton City manager was overcome with deep and sincere emotion on Saturday after the final whistle of this match of the 18th day of the Premier League won against Newcastle. A single goal, scored with a header by Townsend (25th minute), was enough for the happiness of an 18th team at kick-off.
On the contrary, the team managed by Eddie Howe suddenly relapsed, eight days after a victory against Fulham (3-0, 17th day). The Magpies find themselves seventh in the standings, seven points behind Tottenham, fourth and winner at the same time of Everton (2-1). Newcastle’s defeat comes four days after a elimination in the quarter-final of the League Cup against Chelsea (1-1).
