# Newcastle Player Ratings: Brighton (A)

Newcastle United’s unbeaten run came to an end on Sunday afternoon as Brighton defeated them 1-0.

The Magpies headed to the Amex Stadium in good form. They’d come off the back of three consecutive victories in the Premier League, and were looking to defeat a Brighton side who were looking to bounce back after losing to Bournemouth recently.

However, it was the Seagulls who came away with all three points on the day thanks to a poorly defended goal, tucked away by Tomer Hemed.

Rob Elliot made a string of good saves to keep Newcastle in it, and despite a late flurry of chances, the closest the visitors came was through Jonjo Shelvey, whose corner crashed off the post.

It was a disappointing defeat for Rafa Benitez’s men, and they’ll now look to bounce back in the coming weeks.
