Alexander Isak rescued a crucial point for Newcastle in a 1-1 draw at Brighton to keep the Magpies’ Champions League hopes alive.
In a bizarre second half, Newcastle were awarded three penalties by on-field referee Craig Pawson – but only one, which was eventually scored by Isak, was taken.
The first two were correctly ruled out by VAR. The first was a foul from Tariq Lamptey on Anthony Gordon, which occurred outside the box. The second resulted in a booking for Joe Willock for simulation after Jan Paul van Hecke was initially penalised for a foul.
Alexander Isak levelled the score from the penalty spot
But the third was a clear handball from Yasin Ayari from a Newcastle free kick, and was confirmed by VAR. Isak stepped up confidently to power home and secure what could be a vital draw.
It will have softened the blow slightly of yet another goal from former Magpie Yankuba Minteh against his former side.
Newcastle thought they had a penalty as Anthony Gordon as fouled, only for VAR to over-rule the initial on-field decision
The 20-year-old – who Eddie Howe had been reluctant to sell in the summer – scored via a deflection off Dan Burn just before the half an hour to see Brighton ahead. He also scored against Newcastle in a 2-1 win for the Seagulls in the FA Cup in March.
Joe Willock was booked for diving after VAR determined there was minimal contact in the foul that was originally given as a penalty
And Brighton could have landed a late blow on their opponents as an unmarked Diego Gomez headed wide from close range. Callum Wilson, too, drew a fine save from Bart Verbruggen in the final moments.
But Newcastle will ultimately be satisfied to come from behind for a draw at a ground they are yet to win at in the Premier League in a game where they were not at their best, especially in the final third.
Yankuba Minteh put Brighton ahead in the first half
They have given themselves a three-point cushion in the top four, with fifth-place Chelsea facing Liverpool on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports. Brighton – also in the hunt for European football next season – remain in 10th.

2025 NHL playoff preview: Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers
By Sean Gentille, Dom Luszczyszyn and Shayna GoldmanThere’s a major difference between contenders and pretenders, a difference that was evident in both Vegas’ and Edmonton’s first-round series.Backs against the wall, the Golden Knights and Oilers showed exactly why they’ve been frequent fliers past the first round — and why the Minnesota Wild and Los Angeles Kings were first-round fodder once again.AdvertisementNow comes the true test: a battle between two teams equally equipped to win it all. This series is about as tight as it gets.The oddsThe Oilers start with a modest 52-48 edge in this series, but there are a lot of variables that could tilt the scales in either direction.The main one is the status of Pavel Dorofeyev, who is currently day-to-day. We’re projecting a Game 4 return, which is one reason the Oilers are favored. With Dorofeyev in […]
Lego built full-size F1 cars for the Miami GP drivers’ parade: Here’s how they did it
Formula One’s driver parade for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix will surely go down as one of the most memorable in the sport’s recent history.Ahead of Sunday’s race, the drivers swapped the flatbed truck that usually takes them around the track to wave to the fans for full-size, drivable F1 cars — all built out of Lego.Advertisement“That was the most fun drivers’ parade we’ve ever had,” Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton said. “Some dirty driving from this one here (Gasly)! That was great fun.”“They’ll have to sweep the track, there’s quite a bit of Lego debris on the track,” Max Verstappen said. “A bit different, that’s for sure!”With liveries identical to those of their real-world counterparts, this was an ambitious project enacted as part of F1’s partnership with Lego. It was over a year in the making and required tons of bricks […]
