Record signing Ayegbeni Yakubu struck twice to send Everton back into Europe for the third time in four seasons.

The £11million that boss David Moyes paid for Yakubu has clearly paid off, with fifth place now secured.
He took his tally for the campaign to 21, and became the first Everton player to top 20 since Peter Beardsley 26 years ago.

Yakubu's first was a powerful header, and his second a late penalty. In between Joleon Lescott had settled Everton's nerves by putting them ahead again after a Michael Owen penalty had taken Newcastle level just seconds into the second-half.

At one stage Aston Villa - struggling to overtake Everton - were leading at West Ham, but that game ended 2-2 and Everton were already home and dry having held fifth place since the new year.
