Newcastle United's commanding 3-0 victory against 10-man Ipswich Town bolstered their chances of qualifying for the Champions League while sealing Ipswich's relegation. After a frustrating first half marked by a disallowed goal, the match shifted dramatically when Ipswich's Ben Johnson received a red card. This sent Newcastle, driven by Alexander Isak's penalty and further goals from Dan Burn and William Osula, into third place. Remarkably, this match marked the first time in Premier League history that all relegated teams had their fate sealed with four games to play.
Isak finally broke the deadlock in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time, slotting home from the penalty spot after a VAR review deemed a foul.
Ipswich were left with an impossible task after Ben Johnson was sent off for a second bookable offence, turning the match in Newcastle's favor.
