Newcastle United ended their five-match losing streak with a 3-1 victory over Brighton at St James' Park. Will Osula opened the scoring against the run of play thanks to a Bart Verbruggen error, before Dan Burn doubled the lead against his former employers. Jack Hinshelwood pulled one back for Brighton in the second half.

The win moves Eddie Howe's side up to 13th in the Premier League table, having started the day in 15th position. Brighton, meanwhile, suffered a blow in their European chase, dropping to seventh and potentially falling to 10th depending on other results this weekend. The Seagulls had been on a five-game unbeaten run before this defeat.

Harvey Barnes sealed the victory in injury time after former Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh missed a golden opportunity for Brighton. Newcastle had struggled with giving up points from winning positions this season, but this time they held on to secure a crucial three points that lifts them away from the relegation zone.
