All over at Newcastle and so is Ipswich’s top-flight status.
After a bright start, their ill-discipline left them with a mountain to climb in the second half following Alexander Isak’s penalty just before the break.
Dan Burn and Will Osula made it three and now Ipswich can start planning for a promotion assault next term.

Despair and yet another defeat for Southampton (2-1) after Emile Smith Rowe and Ryan Sessegnon score second-half goals to overturn Jack Stephens’ opener.

The unthinkable has happened – Jamie Vardy has missed from the penalty spot!
Foxes legend Vardy is playing the first match of his farewell tour after announcing he will be leaving Leicester this summer.
He has not scored for three months – but was presented with the perfect opportunity after tumbling under a challenge from Wolves keeper Jose Sa.
Replays suggested the incident was more on Vardy than Sa, but ref Sam Barrott stuck with his decision.
Vardy’s spot kick was a poor one though – and Sa could have thrown his cap on it.
It would have brought Leicester back into the game though after Cunha left the Foxes standing again with a superb pass which allowed Strand Larsen to score his sixth goal in seven games.
Looks like some fighting has broken out in the Leicester fans’ section.
