NNewcastle United breathed new life into their faltering campaign with a commanding 3-1 victory over BBrighton & Hove Albion at St James' Park. The Magpies, who had endured four defeats in their previous five outings, rediscovered their attacking rhythm in emphatic fashion. Yoane Wissa and Anthony Elanga—both rated among Newcastle's elite performers at 84 and 83 respectively—combined to devastating effect, stretching Brighton's defense throughout. Jacob Ramsey's influence from central midfield proved pivotal, dictating tempo and feeding the frontline with precision. The result lifts Newcastle to 45 points, keeping their survival hopes alive with three matches remaining. For Brighton, the defeat stalls their momentum despite Adam Webster's remarkable 17-goal season continuing to defy positional conventions. Charalampos Kostoulas and Stefanos Tzimas found themselves starved of service as Brighton's attack misfired. The Seagulls remain in 9th but will rue missed opportunities to strengthen their position in the upper half of the table.
