Welbeck's Late Strike Seals Brighton's 2-1 Win Over Newcastle

Danny Welbecks extra-time strike sealed Brightons place in the FA Cup quarterfinals as they triumphed 2-1 over Newcastle in a dramatic clash at St James Park.

The match was filled with tension, featuring red cards for both teams and a controversial penalty.

Newcastle took the lead in the 22nd minute through Alexander Isak's penalty, awarded after Yankuba Minteh fouled Tino Livramento in the box.

The penalty marked Isaks 22nd goal of the season, and he nearly doubled the lead with another shot that was ruled offside.

Despite their dominance, Newcastle couldnt hold onto their advantage, as Mintehs deflected shot in the 44th minute, following a brilliant pass from Joao Pedro, pulled Brighton level.
