Sunday Recap

Benitez named an unchanged side for the trip to the Amex, a rare occurrence by the Newcastle manager, as noted by Sky Sports Statto:

However, it was the hosts who made the brighter start and had the best chance of the opening exchanges after Pascal Gross and Anthony Knockaert combined well.

However, the duo then got in each other's way, with Gross' shot appearing to be goal-bound before hitting his team-mate and flying wide.

Erratic shooting was the order of the day with Joselu firing inches wide on the turn, although his radar has been wayward recently, as highlighted by Squawka:

Ayoze Perez had a sight of goal but struggled to get his effort anywhere near Brighton goalkeeper Mathew Ryan's goal, as noted by the Chronicle's Lee Ryder:

The deadlock was finally broken five minutes into the second half after Tomer Hemed scored for the hosts.

Again Gross was involved, with his free-kick finding Dale Stephens at the back post and his header back across goal was flicked home by Hemed.

The 30-year-old is a crucial player for Brighton, particularly at home, as noted by ESPN UK:

Newcastle pushed for an equaliser but struggled to create many clear-cut chances, although substitute Jonjo Shelvey did hit the post directly from a corner.

However, Brighton defended their lead well and held on for their second Premier League victory of the season, while Newcastle have work to do ahead of Sunday's visit from Liverpool.
