Newcastle's hopes of a Champions League spot came to an end with a 3-1 defeat at Everton at Goodison Park.
Everton manager David Moyes was pleased with his side's point at Stoke which left his side three points clear of rivals Liverpool with two games left, but played down the significance of finishing above his neighbours.
Two first half goals from in-form striker Nikica Jelavic helped a resurgent Everton hammer an out-of-sorts Fulham 4-0 at Goodison Park.
