    What a hit that is! It is a beauty. Through a cluster of players and maybe Martin Dubravka saw it late.

    Amad Diallo has been free on the edge of the area all night, Bruno Fernandes tried to find him with one earlier.

    A rocket.

    Bruno Fernandes' corner is headed out but only as far as Amad Diallo, who rifles a shot in from 16 yards which leaves Martin Dubravka with no chance.

    Malo Gusto does well to create some space down the right wing, his low cross finds the incoming Christopher Nkunku and he slots home the finish to double the lead.

    The Chelsea man grabs a blue balloon and celebrates by blowing it up, while Brighton are looking a deflated side.

    As it stands, Manchester United are heading for their lowest league finish since 1989-90.

    That season also ended with an FA Cup final that saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job.

    Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle

    Dan Burn heads the ball against Amad Diallo's arm. The referee stops the restart for a second so VAR can check it but no penalty to Newcastle is the decision. The right decision too.

    Andrew: How many times in three minutes to start the second half did United carelessly give the ball away? They invited that.

    Sofyan Amrabat should not be allowed to get a block on this.

    Three against one and you think there's only going to be one finish.

    Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle

    Newcastle should be ahead.

    Bruno Fernandes has a shot saved and the Magpies counter at pace.

    Sofyan Amrabat is left to deal with Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak on his own.

    Gordon squares it to Isak but the Manchester United midfielder does well to get across and block his shot.

    Brighton 0-1 Chelsea

    Teenage Brighton sub Valentin Barco does really well to get a foot on Cole Palmer's cross with Christopher Nkunku lurking and waiting to pounce at the far post.

    Clinical move. Anthony Gordon is a man enjoying his game and a man in form.

    A really good start to this half for Newcastle, it's some sloppy play from Sofyan Amrabat with the miscontrol.

    Then it's a perfect cross from Jacob Murphy, he makes up his mind early and does it to great effect.

    Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle

    Manchester United almost in to retake their lead but Alejandro Garnacho's touch is too heavy and Emil Krafth has time to recover and boot it behind.

    Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle

    Anthony Gordon is the fourth player to score for Newcastle in both Premier League matches against Manchester United in a single campaign, after Andy Cole (1993-94), Demba Ba (2011-12) and Matthew Longstaff (2019-20).

    That should be 1-1 on the south coast too. Pascal Gross, free at the near post and five yards out, just has to do better when connecting with a cross from the right but, with the outside of the boot, he sends the ball wide.

    Glorious chance, not taken.

    Newcastle are level.

    Andre Onana pumps a goal-kick up the pitch and two Manchester United players fail to get it under control.

    Newcastle make them pay as Jacob Murphy swings in a dreamy cross which Anthony Gordon stabs home.

    Another Newcastle opportunity. Alexander Isak this time finds Anthony Gordon, who has an effort blocked and Elliot Anderson slices his rebound shot wide.

    Brighton 0-1 Chelsea

    Nicolas Jackson looks to have broken through the Brighton offside trap, but with two team-mates up with him, he slides the ball across the face of goal but can't find a fellow Chelsea man as Adam Webster makes a potential goal-saving sliding interception.

  18. Postpublished at 21:05 British Summer Time 15 May

    Man Utd 1-0 Newcastle

    Just like the first half, a very early chance for Newcastle. Alexander Isak picks out Bruno Guimaraes on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked and then saved.

    If it stays like this, Chelsea only need a point at home to Bournemouth on Sunday to secure European football for next season.
