FA Cup: Welbeck's Extra-time Strike Results In Heartbreak For Newcastle Utd
St James Park: Newcastle United's FA Cup dreams were dashed in heartbreaking fashion as Danny Welbeck's extra-time goal secured a 2-1 victory, at St James Park for Brighton & Hove Albion, sending Eddie Howe's side crashing out of the competition.
The Magpies had initially taken the lead through Alexander Isak, but Yankuba Minteh, the former Newcastle player who never made a competitive appearance for the club, equalized for Brighton to force extra time. Isak’s 22nd goal of the season, a penalty after Minteh fouled Tino Livramento, had put Newcastle in front, but Minteh’s smart finish just before the break leveled the scores and set up a tense second half.
Isak had the first real chance of the game early on, heading wide from close range after a brilliant cross from Harvey Barnes. Despite early dominance, Newcastle struggled to find a clinical edge, with Isak seeing another effort blocked and Gordon’s shot being saved by Bart Verbruggen.
