Newcastle are out of the bottom three after Alan Shearer’s side beat North-east rivals Middlesbrough 3-1. But with just two games left can they still beat the drop?

Juventus will play Sunday’s Serie A game at home to Atalanta behind closed doors after they lost an appeal against a stadium ban.

The ban was originally handed down by the Italian League after Juve supporters racially abused Inter striker Mario Balotelli in the 1-1 draw in Turin’s Stadio Olimpico last month.

The club won a temporary injunction against the sanction but the Italian Olympic Committee said it had rejected their appeal after examining further evidence.

Juve confirmed on their website that Sunday’s game with Atalanta was the match affected.
