Newcastle United made it five wins on the spin by coming from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Magpies reclaimed third spot in the Premier League as a result, after Manchester United briefly leapfrogged them following their 2-0 win over Everton in the early kick-off.
Ivan Toney was denied from the spot by Nick Pope inside the opening half-hour, only for the England international to convert from 12 yards on the cusp of half-time.

Eddie Howe introduced Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon at the break to kick start Newcastle's second half revival.
They equalised when Joelinton's shot from an acute angle was diverted into his own net by Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. Alexander Isak then netted his fifth goal in as many games just past the hour-mark. Wilson teed up the Swede, who swept an unerring first time effort into the top corner.
Wilson had a goal ruled out for handball after a VAR review, but Newcastle made it back-to-back wins over the Bees to strengthen their top four pursuit.
