Winning Brighton 4-1 in round 25, Newcastle raised the gap with the fifth ranked team Liverpool to four points.

Newcastle consolidates third place with 69 points from 36 games. "Shoot" is three points ahead of Man Utd and four points Liverpool. Because both Newcastle and Liverpool have two matches left, coach Eddie Howe's army only needs to win one of the last two matches, against Leicester City and then Chelsea, to secure a place in the top 4 of the Premier League and thereby win tickets to the Champions League. .

Brighton just won 3-0 at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, but could not stand the pressure of Newcastle. The home team bombarded goalkeeper Jason Steele's goal from the very beginning. 22 minutes, after many missed opportunities, Newcastle opened the scoring. Undav jumps up to save Trippier's corner, but headers back into the net.

Newcastle continued to dominate for the rest of the first half. Meanwhile, on the day Alexis MacAllister started on the bench, Brighton's attack was less effective. Minutes 45+4, the home team doubled the difference. Trippier continued to provide an assist, taking a free kick for Dan Burn to head the visitors' net.

Brighton pulled out a goal after 51 minutes. Receiving the ball from Gilmour's slot, Undav escaped to shoot and hit goalkeeper Nick Pope.

The match was a bit more dramatic, but Newcastle was brave enough to defend the result. In the 89th minute, with a counterattack on the right, the home team decided the match. Receiving Almiron's slit, Callum Wilson went down and shot past goalkeeper Steele.

Brighton rushed to save hope, but continued to pay the price of Newcastle's sharp counter-attacks. Minute 90 + 1, Wilson crossed in the penalty area for Bruno Guimaraes to cushion the ball to seal a 4-1 victory.
