    FT: Brighton 3-1 Newcastle

    As I said earlier, Newcastle have now lost three successive Premier League games. It's the first time that has happened since April 2022.

    It took them 24 games last season to lose their third league match, compared to four this term.

    Evan Ferguson is only the fourth player to score a Premier League hat-trick aged 18 or younger, after Chris Bart-Williams, Robbie Fowler, and Michael Owen (4 times).

    The Brighton players are lapping up applause from the fans as they do a little tour of the Amex pitch.

    Roberto De Zerbi, even the perfectionist is in Billy Gilmour's ear, imparting advice.

    Played well did Gilmour. Mind you, all the Albion players did to be fair.

    We'll have reaction from the game shortly.

    Given their performances so far, I worry for Newcastle against PSG, Dortmund & Milan.

    Might be a bit harsh to say Eddie Howe is not the right man to take Newcastle forward. His subs and tactics this season have been poor. Seems clueless at times Doesn't play his best side at times. A few more games like this and he will go. It's not even the results it's the performances that are grating.

    Disgruntled Newcastle fan

    Duncan: Newcastle will be struggling for top four/six this season. Doesn't matter what your fixture schedule is. You play what is in front of you.

    Oh, vital touch!

    Tariq Lamptey tears away down the right with Fabian Schar unable to compete and his low cross is tapped away from Kaoru Mitoma at the back post by Kieran Trippier.

    Should be a corner but the ref hasn't spotted it so it's a goal kick.

    Fabian Schar is struggling for Newcastle. Could be cramp. May be more. He's going to have to battle through the last couple of minutes here.

    Shearer, Yeboah and Fowler scored on the same day in 1995, surely that's the only other time there's been 3 PL hat-tricks in one day?

    It is so comfortable, the whole second-half has been [for Brighton].

    This is back to the Brighton of what we have seen, Newcastle on the other hand started strongly, but have really faded in this game and Eddie Howe has got things to look at - decisions to be made.
