    Newcastle & Arsenal will have the same problem this season: they both hugely over achieved last season whilst the competition around then were so poor. Now that everyone is back to full strength, they may both struggle for Europe, and get embarrassed in the champions league (because neither of them are actually that good).

    Fati might not get in the team! Impressive by the Seagulls.

    Brighton 3-0 Newcastle

    The way Evan Ferguson finishes and the manner in which he drops deep to link player, you can see why there are comparisons to Harry Kane.

    He departs to a standing ovation as James Milner comes on.

    Adam Lallana is also on for Solly March.

    Brighton 3-0 Newcastle

    Dan Burn is not having a great return to Brighton. He underlines that by dragging back Solly March to earn a booking.

    Two more Newcastle changes. Harvey Barnes and Jamal Lascelles are on for Matt Targett and Alexander Isak.

    Will people (in this case Newcastle fans) stop moaning about fixtures. It doesn't matter when you play teams, everyone plays each team twice anyway!

    You can't deny Brighton are good for this win. They started slowly, but have been superb for most of it. And this is a fine Newcastle side they're dealing with.

    Brilliant from Ferguson again, you deserve it when you have worked as hard as him.

    It is brilliant, the instinct from Ferguson he has been spectacular.

    I’d be intrigued to know the effectiveness of Howe’s substitutions as a stat. A friend, who’s a Bournemouth fan, criticised him for having no plan B whilst he was there, and their substitutions certainly didn’t work against Liverpool. (Cue a Longstaff hat-trick in this game)

    If it was in any doubt before, that goal surely seals all three points for Brighton.

    Field: Brighton has about 500mil in talent in modern football. From 3 players! March Mitoma and Ferguson are all a joke. Club has a revolving door of money!

    Kev: This Evan Ferguson lad isn't too shabby is he!

    Phil: In the transfer window Premier League teams have succeeded in signing all the wrong Brighton players. What a goal from Ferguson.

    GOAL - Brighton 3-0 Newcastlepublished at 71 mins

    Evan Ferguson

    HAT-TRICK!

    The big striker makes it a treble! His shot needs a big deflection off Dan Burn to wrong foot Nick Pope and find the net, but his initial effort is on target. That'll surely be his goal.

    Anything Erling Haaland and Son Heung-min can do, eh?

    This is just the Mark Hughes era for Newcastle. They’ll win the league in the next few years. It’s the formula everyone seems to be perfectly happy with nowadays of just buying success.

    Brighton have a swagger to them now.

    Bart Verbruggen shows some nifty footwork to beat a man and set Brighton away again.

    Difficult to see a way back for Newcastle now. The tide is against them.

    It is a great goal, he [Evan Ferguson] has put in a shift today.

    He has come off the defenders and nobody has followed him, it is a great goal.

    So much time on the ball, Dan Burns has got to come tight to him. He has not struck it hard but it is just quality.

    Dire from Anthony Gordon!

    Elliott Anderson gets down the left and pulls the ball back. It reaches the onrushing Gordon, but his low side-foot finish is woeful and wide.
