Newcastle United defeated Barnsley to win the Championship title while Blackburn Rovers were relegated in a dramatic final day of action in England's second tier.
A 3-0 victory for Rafael Benitez's side over Barnsley, coupled with Aston Villa's late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion, led to huge celebrations at St James' Park.
At the other end of the table, there were wins for all three of the teams in danger of being relegated to League One – Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn.
But that meant heartbreak for Blackburn, who started the day third bottom and were relegated on goal difference.
Brighton were one minute away from being crowned Championship winners for the first time in their history, but ultimately had to settle for second place.
