The New York Times reports that Newcastle United has just one point short of top six in the Premier League after their victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
Despite winning 2-1, Newcastle United is still five points behind leaders Liverpool and eight points behind second-placed Chelsea. The club's manager Steve Bruce said he was "happy" with the result but admitted his team could have done more to secure the win.
However, it remains to be seen whether the Newcastle fans will be happy with the outcome as they were booed during the match. They had been hoping for a high-scoring game against a strong opposition, but were disappointed with the lack of goals scored by both teams.
It is clear that Newcastle United needs to improve if they want to remain in the top six. The club has struggled to score goals this season and has struggled to maintain possession throughout matches. However, there are some positives to be taken from the victory over Manchester United, such as the fact that the home crowd was loud and passionate about the team's performance.
Overall, the Newcastle United team should be proud of their performance despite the low goal difference. With a new manager in charge and a talented squad, they can still challenge for top spot in the league next season.
