In the opening stages of the game, Newcastle United displayed a strong attack to try and take the lead at home. Dan Bourne's header was a powerful one but unfortunately went wide of the target. Isaac then had a chance for a one-touch shot, but the Brighton keeper was heroic and parried the ball away.

In the 35th minute, Welbeck showed his outstanding individual ability in the pack of opposing players, he forced a breakthrough and scored a goal, giving Brighton a 1-0 lead. This goal not only showed Welbeck's individual ability, but also emphasized Brighton's efficiency and sharpness in counterattack.
At the start of the second half, Welbeck was substituted due to injury, which definitely put a damper on Brighton's attack. But despite of this, Brighton still kept the pressure on Newcastle United. A shot from Sanfan Kaoru failed to break through the goal, but it brought a considerable threat to Newcastle United's goal.
It is worth noting that Newcastle United also had a threatening attack in the second half. Dan Bourne's shot broke the goal, but the goal was disallowed for offside after the VAR confirmed it. The penalty was also regretted by the Newcastle United players and fans.
In the end, Brighton won 1-0 away to Newcastle United thanks to Welbeck's excellent play and the efforts of the whole team. The victory not only helped Brighton to achieve a higher ranking in the table, but also gave them more confidence to challenge strong opponents in the coming matches.
