Its been too little too late for the Magpies this campaign as they face relegation for the second time in seven years – the appointment of former Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez gave hope to the Geordie faithful – although a string of positive results could not mend the early season damage.

The January transfer signing of England winger Andros Townsend lifted the Magpies, as the former Spurs man found his best form in a time of need – mumbling of a rumoured of England recall has galvanised Townsend. A stunning free-kick against Crystal Palace was a reminder of what he can produce.

Spurs’ unsung hero Christian Eriksen has had a season to remember – more-or-less typifying everything good about Mauricio Pochettino’s title challenging side – with the Danish playmaker being directly involved in 19 goals this term, producing the consistency that was missing in previous terms.
