Brighton v Newcastle United LIVE – Evan Ferguson hits glorious hat-trick as visitors slump to third straight Premier League defeat

A 3-1 victory for Brighton. Mitoma almost on the end of the Lamptey cross before Lallana picks up a booking. An eighth booking of the match. A superb display by Evan Ferguson. Won't forget this day in a long time. Thanks for joining us tonight.

Mahmoud Dahoud goes into the book deep into added time for foul play. Almost time up.

Into two minutes of time added on. Callum Wilson gets behind the Brighton defence to fire home from the Sean Longstaff pass. A consolation goal for the visitors on a forgettable day.

Simon Adingra replaces Pascal Groß for the home side.

Fabian Schär gets a header at goal, but not really carrying any level of threat as the ball drops into the hands of Bart Verbruggen in the Brighton goal. Trippier with the delivery from out wide.

Tariq Lamptey penalised for taking out Bruno Guimarães on this occasion.

James Milner replaces Evan Ferguson and Adam Lallana takes over from Solly March. Nice position to be in.

Fair to say they're going to enjoy their Saturday night. Football is such an easy watch for fans on such days.

Two changes for the home side as Mahmoud Dahoud replaces Billy Gilmour with Tariq Lamptey on for João Pedro.

Harvey Barnes replaces Alexander Isak and Jamaal Lascelles takes over from Matt Targett.

Might as well change it up because this game has gone for the visiting side.

What a day for the 18-year-old. Really is a dream day out at the Amex for him.

It truly is Fergie time today. What a display from the youngster as he wrong foots Pope from the edge of his box. Was a deflection off Fabian Schär, but they all count. He'll be claiming that. His first career hat-trick.

Matt Targett is yellow carded for taking out Joël Veltman. This is pitiful from Newcastle.

Gordon with chance to finish from the Elliot Anderson pass, but he mishits the shot wide of goal inside the box. Sums it up really.

And it is another supreme finish from Ferguson from distance. Just passes it into the net from 25 yards or so. Pope can't get there diving to his left. That is magnificent. Billy Gilmour with the pass. No surprise there.

In full voice today from what has been a fine team performance. Still, while the scoreline remains at 1-0 anything can happen. And in the Premier League it usually does.

Right on the money for a big centre-half, but nothing doing on that score today as Brighton defend stoutly to hammer clear the second ball. Newcastle yet to work the Brighton keeper Verbruggen. Which says it all.

Kieran Trippier fairly drives in the corner, but somehow eludes the whole shooting match in the box and that is a goal kick for the home team.
