FULL TIME: Newcastle United 0-3 Brighton
An exceptional away performance from Brighton. They were in control for the full match. Lamptey and Maupay were the standout performers. Bruce got his team selection wrong. Newcastle United just couldn't handle the Seagulls. Very strong display from Potter's side.
Lewis has actually gone off after that red card incident. Newcastle United have used all their subs, so they are also finishing the match with just 10 men on the pitch.
Brighton have made one final change after that sending off, with Jahanbakhsh on for Connolly for the last few minutes.

A. Jahanbakhsh

There will be three minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.
Of course, that decision will do little to change the dynamic of the match. Brighton have the points in the bag. It's just about seeing out the clock until the full time whistle now.
SENT OFF! After a lengthy VAR check, Bissouma is shown a red for a backheel flick into the face of Lewis. There was no intent in that, but the referee has decided it was excesive force.

Y. Bissouma
Connolly's finish was exceptional, but the work from Maupay was even better. The Brighton striker recognised when to play the pass out to his teammate having driven 30 yards.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Newcastle United 0 Brighton 3 (84 mins - Aaron Connolly). And that should be the points in the bag for Brighton. Maupay drives into the opposition half and plays the pass out to Connolly at the right time and the Republic of Ireland international curls home a wonderful finish into the far corner!
Goal
A. Connolly
This has been an exceptional display from Brighton so far. Even in the moments when they haven't been pressing for a goal, they have looked very organised in terms of their structure.
Here's a statistic that sums up just how toothless Newcastle United have been this afternoon... shots on target - 0.
This could be the start of a difficult stretch of fixtures for Newcastle. After this, they face Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Wolves over the course of their next four games.
Newcastle attempt to get Wilson in behind the Brighton defence with a ball into the channel for him to chase, but Dunk was alert to the danger and makes the sliding interception.
Indeed, here comes Lallana and it's March he replaces for the final 10 minutes.

It appears Potter is getting ready to make a change of his own. Lallana is receiving some instructions down on the touchline. Who will the former Liverpool man come on for?
Fraser takes a corner kick from the right side, but Dunk has no trouble in heading it away. Newcastle United keep playing balls into the box despite Brighton having a height advantage.
Hayden is down and receiving some treatment. Newcastle United are running out of team if they are to turn this match around. Hayden is back on his feet and will be fine to continue.
Another change for Newcastle with Joelinton coming off the bench for the final quarter of an hour.

Connolly over the bar! Brighton are banging on the door for a third goal here! Connolly gets in between the two centre backs, but sends his shot over the crossbar from 18 yards out.
