Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew feels they can qualify for the Europa League.

After back-to-back wins, Pardew was a pleased man.

Pardew said: "It's two great results for us - Aston Villa at home and Hull away. They are both close to us and we've given ourselves a nice cushion.

"And we've put ourselves in touch with the top - that's where we want to be."
