Benitez’s Newcastle clinch Sky Bet Championship

By Daily Sports on May 8, 2017

 

Newcastle United now have two feats to celebrate: a return to the English Premier League and now even much sweeter they clinched the Sky Bet Championship on the last day.

Trailing by two points in the final day to Brighton & Hove Albion, the Rafa Benitez boys eased past Barnsley 3-0, although they have Aston Villa to thank for the achievement. Brighton were leading in their encounter with Aston Villa by a lone goal and were sure to be crowned the champions.

Then, Aston Villa procured a last-gasp equaliser to destroy the hope, making the match 1-1 and the final points on the summit as 94 for Newcastle and 93 for Brighton & Hove Albion.
