Newcastle United got back to winning ways in style on Saturday, ending a run of Premier League defeats with a big 3-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Nick Pope was tested early on and called into make a crucial save to stop the visitors from opening the scoring, and then at the other end of the pitch, William Osula scored for the third time in four games, getting on the end of a Jacob Murphy cross.

Before the half was out, Dan Burn was the man to double the advantage, getting his head onto the ball from a corner to make it 2-0.

Late in the second half, Nick Pope once again was called into action to make a crucial stop to deny Brighton a chance at equalising after they had already pulled one back earlier, and then deep into added time, Harvey Barnes who had come on as a substitution proved to be a vital addition to the game, scoring the sides third goal to secure all three points.
