Rafael Benitez’s side are 13th in the Premier League
Matt Ritchie scored a late goal against Bournemouth on Saturday to rescue a point for Newcastle.
They moved onto 35 points from 31 games and are currently 13th in the table.
Oddly, after the same number of matches in both the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, Benitez’s side had won nine, drawn eight and lost 14 matches.

They will no doubt be hoping for a similar finish to last season.
The Magpies went on to take nine points from their final seven games as they finished 10th.
