Danny Welbeck was brought on as a substitute and scored the deciding goal for Brighton against Newcastle, securing their spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon's hopes of playing in the Carabao Cup final were dashed as he received a red card late in the game.
Welbeck, known for scoring the winning goal in a previous Premier League match against Newcastle, found the back of the net in extra-time to secure a 2-1 victory in a match that saw both teams finish with 10 players.
Gordon was shown a red card for violent conduct towards the end of the game, followed by Tariq Lamptey receiving a second yellow card. Gordon now faces a suspension that will see him miss the upcoming game against Liverpool at Wembley on March 16.
The game saw Alexander Isak scoring a penalty in the 22nd minute to give the hosts the lead, which was later equalized by Yankuba Minteh before half-time. The match remained competitive until Welbeck's vital goal.
Isak had an early header blocked by Adam Webster, showing both teams' determination from the start. The game had its ups and downs, with Joelinton almost causing trouble for his team with a misplaced pass but eventually seeing Isak's effort saved by the goalkeeper.
Brighton got back into the game just before half-time when Minteh capitalized on a chance created by Lamptey's throw-in and Joao Pedro's pass. The second half saw missed opportunities on both sides, with the decisive moment coming in extra-time with Welbeck's goal.
