Brighton have won their first away game in almost a year!!!

As for Newcastle, they are bottom.

Now the pressure is on Rafa.

What a chance for Brighton sub Yves Bissouma.

He's through on goal but sidefoots his shot wide of Martin Dubravka's goal.

The Magpies breathe again.

Fans are starting to stream out - mainly Newcastle fans by the looks of it.

If their team can't beat Brighton then...

We have seven minutes plus stoppage remaining - there doesn't seem to be that much urgency from the Newcastle players.

The wall jumps up and changes the trajectory of Jonjo Shelvey's free-kick which was heading towards Mat Ryan's top-left corner.

The deflection helps out the Aussie who punches the ball away.

Newcastle free-kick.

Shelvey over it.

25 yards out.

Mat Ryan collects the delivery easily, despite being under pressure from Joselu.

You can feel the tension inside St James'.

Joselu comes on for Yoshinori Muto moments after Alireza Jahanbakhsh went into the book for a foul on Matt Ritchie.

We have about 16 minutes plus stoppage to go.

The Magpies now have a corner...

Jamaal Lascelles gets lucky there.

The Newcastle defender misjudges the bounce of the ball from a throw-in near his area and is almost punished by Alireza Jahanbakhsh, whose angled shot drifts three yards past the far post.

Lewis Dunk takes the captain's armband as Bruno is replaced by Bernardo.

Federico Fernandez is adamant that Bruno heads the ball behind, but ref Andre Marriner says it's a goal-kick.

The Brighton skipper receives treatment for a blow to his head, but he seems OK.

There are times to try a rabona, and there are times not to try a rabona - Kenedy picked the wrong time.

The Brazilian tries to score with one from the edge of the area, but gets it so very, very wrong.

The groans grow among the home support inside St James' as Newcastle's Ayoze Perez gives away possession.

But their team are back on the attack.

The ball eventually falls into the path of Matt Ritchie, who drives towards the six-yard area but fires his angled shot high over Ryan's bar.

The home side win another corner - their eighth!

Newcastle are doing their best to find a way through Brighton's stubborn defence - it's hard work.

A ball is delivered from the left but Matt Ritchie fails to get a good connection with his header.

At the other end, Solly March unleashes a dipping shot, that flies high over the bar. It perhaps came off Federico Fernandez, but not according to ref Andre Marriner.

Usingh Bolt: I always try to remain optimistic as a toon fan. But I genuinely can't see anything but relegation if we don't win today. Yes we've lost to all the big teams we've played by just 1 goal. However we haven't scored against any of the 'smaller' teams we've played.

While I published that post Jonjo Shelvey had a 20 yarder punched away by Mat Ryan.

Newcastle are looking for a quick response after the break.

Ex-Premier League striker on Final Score

It was a sickening collision. Glenn Murray actually flicked the ball on, and the defender came in a millisecond later. I’ve worked with Glenn, he’s a good lad and he’s having a great season.
