Isaac Hayden saves draw for Newcastle at Brighton with Howe in the stands

Howe do you like that? Before kick‑off Newcastle sank to the bottom of the league because of Norwich’s victory at Brentford; then they fell behind to a penalty by Leandro Trossard. Then came the reaction that must have encouraged their prospective new manager, who, from his seat in the stands, saw Newcastle fight back to claim a valuable point.

It would have been more if Calllum Wilson had not been fouled by Robert Sánchez in stoppage time when running clear on goal. The goalkeeper was sent off but Newcastle did not have enough time to go on and claim their first league win of the season. They did, however, show Eddie Howe that this team has at least something to build on.
