NEWCASTLE \u00a0 UNITED \u00a0 1 \u00a0 BRIGHTON \u00a0 & \u00a0 HOVE \u00a0 ALBION \u00a0 2 \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 EMIRATES \u00a0 FA \u00a0 CUP, \u00a0 FIFTH \u00a0 ROUND<\/strong> \u00a0 -<\/p>\n\n\n\n

at \u00a0 ST. \u00a0 JAMES' \u00a0 PARK, \u00a0 NEWCASTLE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on the FA Cup trail, the Albion were off to the North East for an Emirates FA Cup, Fifth Round tie against Newcastle United at St. James' Park, \"live\" in front of the ITV cameras, the match also being broadcast by Talksport and BBC Radio Sussex Sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a four- match winning run in all competitions, last time out the Albion beat AFC \u00a0Bournemouth\u00a02-1 at home in the Premier on the 25 February and for the visit to Newcastle the Albion made one change to their starting line-up from the Bournemouth game, with Jack Hinshelwood coming in for Diego Gomez in midfield. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Seagulls starting line-up was winger Yankuba Minteh, who joined the Albion from Newcastle in the summer of 2024 for a fee of \u00a330 million, without having played a game for the Toon. \u00a0This was Albion's second visit to St. James' Park this season having won there 1-0 in the Premier on the 19 October 2024, with Danny Welbeck (35m) scoring the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcastle had got through to the final of the Carabao League Cup, where they will meet Liverpool at Wembley on the 16 March and in their last outing had lost 0-2 at Liverpool in the Premier on the\u00a026 February and for Albion's visit Head Coach Eddie Howe made six changes to his starting line-up from that game, with Martin Dubravka, Kieran Trippier, Lewis Miley, Joelinton, Harvey Barnes and\u00a0 Alexander Isak replacing Nick Pope, Lewis Hall, Bruno Guimaraes, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock and Callum Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First major intervention occurred on three minutes when Captain Adam Webster blocked Alexander Isak's goal-bound effort on his own goal-line. \u00a0A subsequent Isak shot was easily gathered by Albion keeper Bart Verbruggen. \u00a0However, on 22 minutes the home side took the lead when Yankuba\u00a0Minteh clumsily brought down Tino Livramento in the box and Isak converted the resultant penalty-kick with ease. \u00a00-1<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the half-hour mark Anthony Gordon had his fierce shot saved by Verbruggen and minutes later Isak's goal was disallowed for offside. \u00a0The Albion equalised on 44 minutes when\u00a0Minteh got on the end of Joao Pedro's through ball, shook off the attention of defender Kieran Trippier before sending a left-foot shot past Martin Dubravka in the Newcastle goal. \u00a01-1<\/strong>. \u00a0Minteh had\u00a0certainly made-up for his penalty give-away. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half-time 1-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First action of the second-half saw Dubravka make a smart save from Pedro's low shot and at the\u00a0other end Jack Hinshelwood was on hand to block Isak's shot. \u00a0Substitutes Diego Gomez and then Brajan Gruda went close to putting Seagulls ahead but the Toon's Gordon saw red after striking and\u00a0pushing Jan Paul Van Hecke to the ground. \u00a0However parity was restored in the first minute of time added on when Tariq Lamptey received a red card after collecting a second yellow from Referee\u00a0Anthony Taylor, following a foul on substitute Jacob Murphy. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the resultant free-kick Fabian\u00a0Schar thought he had put Newcastle into the next round but his volleyed goal was rightfully ruled\u00a0out for offside by VAR by the narrowest of margins. \u00a0On to extra-time. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

90 mins: \u00a01-1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first-half of extra-time substitute Danny Welbeck set-up Gomez whose goal-bound shot\u00a0drew an excellent save from keeper Dubravka. \u00a0Half-time ET: \u00a01-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the second-half of extra-time Toon substitute Joe Willock tested Verbruggen but in the 114th minute a fine Albion move involving Pedro, Gruda enabled an excellent through pass by substitute Solly March to Welbeck saw the 34-year old striker net a wonderful clipped right-foot winner for the Seagulls. \u00a02-1<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was still time for former Albion favourite Dan Burn to flash a shot wide but the Albion hung on for an excellent win. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final-score ET: \u00a02-1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO \u00a0SUM \u00a0UP<\/strong> \u00a0- \u00a0An incident-packed cup-tie settled by a superb winning goal from the evergreen Danny Welbeck. \u00a0Stand-out for the Seagulls were goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen\u00a0who made several vital saves and central defenders Jan Paul Van Hecke and Adam\u00a0Webster .
