It looks like Newcastle United are going to be forced into a change here. Saint-Maximim is down on the turf and Bruce has already prepared Fraser to come on. He's on the touchline.

Lamptey is back on his feet and will be fine to continue. The Brighton right back has been everywhere in this first half! He has been the best player on the pitch by some distance.
31'
Lamptey injured? This is a bit of a concern for Potter. Lamptey might just have injured himself in making that sliding tackle on Wilson. The medical staff are on the pitch seeing to him.
30'
What a tackle! It appeared Wilson was clean in on goal, but Lamptey showed incredible pace to get back and make the crucial sliding challenge on the Newcastle United striker! Incredible from the youngster!
29'
Lamptey beats Lewis to a ball over the top and the Newcastle man goes through him. Booking warranted.

It almost feels like Newcastle United are being out-numbered all over the pitch. This is a credit to the Brighton system. the 3-4-2 shape that they are using is really working today.
26'
Shot over the bar! Bissouma had so much space to get the shot away from 20 yards out, but the Brighton midfielder could only shoot over the crossbar. He should have done better.
25'
Wilson is given his first opportunity inside the box, but it was excellent defending from Webster who just stood up to the Newcastle United striker and made the block. Solid.
23'
22'
Bruce needs to do something about the left side here. Saint-Maximin has no idea how to defend against Lamptey. It's as if the Brighton full back has the full wing to himself.
21'
Shelvey has the chance to swing a freekick delivery into the Brighton box, but Ryan makes a clear shout and claims the ball cleantly. Newcastle need to make use of set pieces.
20'
What a start to the season Lamptey has enjoyed. He was fantastic against his former team Chelsea last weekend and he's been the most dangerous player on the pitch today so far.
19'
This was the second goal!
18'
Lamptey in behind again! Newcastle United just can't handle the young Brighton full back at the moment. This time his cross is deflected into the hands of Darlow. So much pace!
17'
White plays a wonderful cross-field pass out to Connolly on the left side. That's something the young defender showed he could do on loan at Leeds United last season.
16'
The intensity and speed of Brighton's play in the opening 15 minutes of this match has been too much for Newcastle United. Some of their players are already looking pretty gassed!
15'
14'
Brighton counter attack! Lamptey has a whole half to sprint into, but Newcastle have two players getting back with him and Manquillo makes the crucial challenge to stop the youngster.
