Alan Shearer shared every Newcastle fan's relief at full time after a 'huge win' against relegation rivals Everton.
The Magpies came from behind to secure a 3-1 win over Frank Lampard's side, bringing the Toffees crashing back down to earth.
The result moves Eddie Howe's side to within a point of their Merseyside opponents, and out of the relegation zone for the first time since October.

The Magpies had to do so without new signing Dan Burn, although there were starts for Kieran Trippier, Matt Targett and Chris Wood, while Bruno Guimarães made a late cameo from the bench.
Despite the euphoria around the Newcastle new boys, it was Everton who took the lead through a fortuitous Jamal Lascelles own goal.
Undeterred by the setback, the Magpies captain helped restored parity almost immediately, powering a header goalbound, which rebounded off the crossbar and bounced in off the back of Toffees defender Mason Holgate.
Ryan Fraser and Trippier would round off the scoring on an evening where Newcastle fans could breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Magpies legend Shearer tweeter: "HUGE win for the Geordies. Toon Toon. Black and White Army."
