Newcastle extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight matches with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Brighton at St James' Park.

Two first-half goals in quick succession from Ryan Fraser (12) and Fabian Schar (14) saw the hosts take a comfortable 2-0 lead, before Brighton responded through Lewis Dunk's header (55) early in the second half.

Despite Brighton's dominance after the break Newcastle - buoyed by substitute Allan Saint-Maximin's return from a calf injury - held on to move seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Brighton had lost none of the previous nine Premier League meetings between the sides, but the result on Tyneside sees them slip to 13th in the table. They have lost four league games in a row for the first time since April 2019.
