Brighton & Hove Albion suffered their fourth successive defeat at St. James’ Park yesterday.
A Newcastle United side that featured ex-Seagulls defender Dan Burn claimed all three points thanks to two early goals inside the first 15 minutes.
Lewis Dunk scored Brighton’s first goal since the win over Watford, however it wasn’t anything other than a consolation goal for Graham Potter’s team.
It doesn’t get much easier for Brighton in the coming weeks, with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and two clashes with Tottenham Hotspur all to come.
First up is Liverpool, who have failed to beat Brighton in their last three meetings.
The reverse fixture ended 2-2 at Anfield, with Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard scoring to help a brilliant comeback from being 2-0 down.
