Newcastle United 4-1 Brighton - Magpies close in on Champions League spot with victory in Premier League
Newcastle took all three points after a breathless 4-1 win over Brighton in their Premier League clash at St James' Park. The hosts made an electric start as an attacking triumvirate of Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson and Joelinton caused chaos in the Brighton backline. Ad Seagulls captain Lewis Dunk kept the Magpies at bay with two brilliant blocks as Eddie Howe's men pushed for an opener, but there was little he could do when Deniz Undav headed Kieran Trippier's corner into his own net.
