Loïc Rémy, who almost moved to the Magpies, opened the scoring from the penalty spot for QPR before Ben Arfa equalized from another penalty. Gouffran then benefited from QPR keeper Robert Green's poor clearance to put the Magpies in front. Rob Elliot's red card late on meant Steve Harper could come on, it also meant he would be able to play his last match against Arsenal. 19 May 2013: Newcastle's last match of the season, at home to Arsenal, sees the Gunners win 1–0 through Laurent Koscielny's volley and confirm their Champions League spot for next season.
