Brighton Beats Newcastle in FA Cup Drama

Brighton & Hove Albion advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals with a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over Newcastle United, thanks to Danny Welbeck's decisive goal in the 114th minute. The match at St James' Park was marked by a series of twists, including two red cards—Anthony Gordon for Newcastle and Tariq Lamptey for Brighton. Alexander Isak's penalty initially gave Newcastle the lead after Yankuba Minteh's foul on Tino Livramento, but Minteh redeemed himself by equalizing just before halftime. Despite opportunities for both sides, Newcastle could not capitalize, and Welbeck's late strike secured Brighton's progression. This win extends Brighton's winning streak to five games, showcasing their resilience and ability to perform under pressure.
