'Elland Road will become toxic' - Newcastle United fans revel as three relegation rivals beaten

Newcastle United supporters have taken to social media to express their delight at the defeats suffered by Premier League rivals Leeds United, Watford and Norwich City.

Leeds have flirted with the relegation zone throughout the campaign and disappointed against Everton, suffering a 3-0 defeat.

Meanwhile, Watford squandered an opportunity to leapfrog Newcastle in the table by falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Norwich City had the unenviable task of facing league leaders Manchester City and were beaten 4-0 on home turf.

The Magpies are in action against Aston Villa tomorrow and if they emerge victorious, they will trail Leeds by just two points.

Eddie Howe's men are already out of the bottom three and occupy 17th place in the table but will now be hoping to create a more comfortable distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

@nufcpanda tweeted: "Class results today for the Toon!"

@Ginger_Pirlo tweeted: "Some teams are in free fall. Some teams are stuck in the mud. We're on the up! Bring it home tomorrow lads!"

@Steve_Harper86 tweeted: "Another decent set of results for Newcastle today, good to see Everton winning to drag Leeds into the mix."

@ToonMouthTyne tweeted: "Perfect set of results. [Crystal] Palace are in the mix for relegation too. Really hard fixtures coming up. Everton beating Leeds keeps both of those teams within touching distance. We didn't want Leeds to win either. Watford losing again."
