Thanks to Danny Welbeck, Brighton clinch victory over Newcastle

Danny Welbeck struck again against Newcastle. The English striker delivered victory for Brighton (2-1) this Saturday at the Amex Stadium, netting a decisive brace against the Magpies.

Already a tormentor of Eddie Howe's men last season, the former Manchester United and Arsenal player opened the scoring in the 41st minute, latching onto a perfect pass from Georginio Rutter to chip Nick Pope with a deft finish.

Newcastle responded in the second half with a moment of brilliance from Nick Woltemade, who scored with a backheel in the 76th minute. But ultimately, Welbeck restored Brighton's lead eight minutes from time with an unstoppable curling strike.

This win lifts the Seagulls up to 9th in the table, while Newcastle remain stuck in 12th place, still searching for their first away victory of the season.
