Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United
The spoils are shared between these two European hopefuls as Brighton and Newcastle draw 1-1. Although the visitors failed to register a win in their eighth attempt at the Amex, they did well to revive themselves after a bleak first half, where familiar face Minteh scored against his old club. He danced inside from the right in the 28th minute to power past Pope, thanking a slight touch from Burn as he went. The second period saw the Magpies take flight but seemingly get altitude sickness as chances passed them by with two notable penalty shouts overturned by VAR. The first saw Lamptey's contact on Gordon occur outside the area on the hour, while the second in the 71st minute, saw Willock's fall under pressure from Van Hecke ruled as simulation. A third overruling was hard to find in the case of Ayari's 86th-minute block of a Schar free-kick. With his hand was away from his body, it was a clear penalty, of which Isak obliged to tuck away for his 23rd goal of the league season. Seagulls substitute Gomez had a golden chance to win it at the death, yet headed wide as the hosts still managed to exceed their 0.62 xG. They continue in 10th, while fourth-placed Newcastle look over their shoulders at Chelsea and their clash against Liverpool, after underperforming from an xG of 1.75.

Brighton keep pushing, with fine play down the right channel. However, Ayari fouls Tonali inside the box to end the danger.

Van Hecke does well now to marshal his defence. He reads a long ball and heads back to Verbruggen.

After Krafth and Estupinan clash heads, play resumes with Tonali lofting a hopeful ball over the hosts' backline for Barnes. It's just offside.

BIG SAVE VERBRUGGEN! Newcastle counter after Brighton's massive chance. Wilson powers on goal after being fed by Barnes, and it looks to take a nick off a defender. Verbruggen just manages to tip over the bar with excellent reflexes!

HUGE CHANCE GOMEZ! One substitute finds another as Gruda delivers a fine cross into the Newcastle box. Gomez is as free as a bird, but can only nod his header comfortably wide of the left post!
