Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United LIVE: Latest Premier League updates

Yellow Card Anthony Michael Gordon

Newcastle have lost their last two Premier League games, after losing just two of the previous 15 beforehand. The Magpies last suffered three consecutive league defeats in March and April 2022.

A Brighton corner is headed back across the face of goal by Dunk, but neither Mitoma nor March can get a decent opening to shoot and Newcastle eventually clear their lines!

Newcastle launch a counter-attack of their own after Pedro is dispossessed in their box. Isak races onto the ball and breezes past Dunk into the box, but Gordon overruns the striker’s cross and the chance comes to nothing!

Newcastle’s corner is an easy one for Brighton to deal with, and the Seagulls are soon flying forward on the break. Mitoma leads them, but his effort from the edge of the box is blocked and Pope collects for the visitors.

SAVED!!! Almiron collects a wide pass and charges into the area. He takes on Dunk and puts in a cross, which takes a wicked deflection off the Brighton captain and forces Verburggen into action, saving at his near post to prevent an own-goal!

SAVED!!! A lovely first-time ball from Gilmour slips Ferguson in behind the defence. He holds off Schar to shoot low from the left side of the box, but he doesn’t do enough to trouble Pope, who collects with ease!

Brighton haven’t lost consecutive games since October 2022, which came in Roberto De Zerbi’s second and third games in charge, and will be hoping to avoid equalling that record following their 3-1 home loss to West Ham last time out.

Dunk’s cushioned header at the far post nods the ball back towards Estupinan, but the Ecuadorian’s first-time shot from the edge of the box bounces wide for a goal-kick!

SAVED!!! March darts around the outside of Targett and floats a cross for the near post. It’s an awkward one for Pope to deal with, and the goalkeeper unconvincingly paws the ball behind for a Brighton corner!
