    Sandro Tonali is closing in on Romeo Lavia as if he wishes him harm. Newcastle United's Italian midfielder is scorching forward at a murderous pace, his intent so malicious that Lavia hesitates - and that hesitation is enough.

But in a season when Newcastle United have finally ended their long wait for a trophy, they are forging history of another sort. The possibility represents a half-achievement for Eddie Howe and his team, which is all the more impressive given the headwinds they have faced.
