Brighton ease their relegation concerns at the expense of fellow strugglers Newcastle as Graham Potter's side move six points clear of the Premier League's bottom three.
It will be decided before that game.
PS Don't slip on your "Oil "obsession.

I like Fulham, hope they stay up, play decent football and parker avoid young manager. But you and your obsession with city and oil is another matter. You just a total C U Next Tuesday who needs a good kicking

Newcastle will still survive because Fulham and WBA aren't up for the fight. However a lot of fans would have relished the Sunderland vs Newcastle derby.
Has he got a penny..?
Cashly has to go..
It all came together for Brighton this evening. They’ve been really unlucky this season.

Wow. Newcastle must be so glad theres 3 teams lower than them....at the moment.
Newcastle really are absolutely dire. Feel terrible for the fans having to watch that drivel. At least Brighton go out every week and play the game of football.
What has happened to steve bruce? Surely to god there must have been a point during the 90 minutes when he thought maybe now I might need to put a striker on? Like when we went 2-0 down. Unbelievable. What good is getting wilson back going to be in this miracle system where we don't play a striker? That was so bad I am in disbelief, it was distressing to watch
That was distressing to watch, I am in disbelief at how bad nufc were. Surely there was a point in the 90 minutes when bruce thought we might need a striker on the pitch? Like when we went 2-0 down? Unbelievable. What good is it going to be Wilson coming back, when we don't play a striker in Bruce's miracle system. And as for Joelinton, what is going on picking him every game, contributes nothing
Bruce... you have to go... that was shocking. Not all your fault, your players didn’t put one single shot on target.
Go, please.
Go, please.
That'll do nicely my lovely Brighton. Played some lovely football.feel for Newcastle. Bruce seems to have ran out of ideas. He couldn't change play to snuff us out in midfield.
Lovely midfield..?
Steve Bruce can still turn this around.The NFC fans need to be more patient.This result was just a bad day at the office.No need for an over reaction by the fickle fans.

Comedy gold
Fulham are so lucky that Newcastle are in the same league as them.
Dunno, we’ve had some dominant performances with goals for a lot of the season. Just not goals for us.
Here’s hoping Welbeck & Lallana stay fit for the rest of the season.

Brighton play some good football but Newcastle are really poor and with Bruce in charge they are odds on for relegation. Last match away to Fulham will seal it if not before. With WBA going down too we get rid of two dinosaurs in one year ,
Newcastle really are atrocious ??
Well what a surprise, hear come the #Bruceoutbrigrade who are all such football experts. What would getting rid of Bruce now achieve and how are you going to get a better manager? Once again it's Newcastle fans with their unrealistic expectations. We were unlucky tonight and could easily have nicked a goal or two, if that shot that hit the post goes in it's a different story. Give the man time!
Are you taking the p*ss? Oh you are? Sorry, my mistake. I thought you were being serious for a second.
Unlucky and could easily have nicked a goal or two !!! Were you watching the same game mate ?
Newcastle gave zero threat at any point of the game.
Credit where it is due, you were played off the park by Brighton this evening

This honestly shambolic from Newcastle only reason there not in the relegation zone is because West Brom and Sheffield United are ran by a bunch of clowns.
Thank you Seagulls & Steve Bruce for giving us hope & belief. Come on Fulham ??????
As a BHA fan I would really like to see you guys pip Newcastle. At least you are showing some fight..
Surely a draw would have been a better result for Fulham keeping both Brighton and Newcastle in the mix. Newcastle have been in rotten form but that will change at some stage its just a question of if Fulham have actually managed to get out of the bottom 3 by then.
I'm a neutral with a soft spot for Newcastle. Who is doing worse with the talent at their disposal. Bruce or Mourinho? Both crap but I still think Bruce has had bad luck whilst Mourinho just lost it. Think Newcastle need young blood such as Howe
Leeds fan here, gutted for Newcastle.
how did it come to this for Newcastle United?
Good club getting ruined.

Simple answer Mike Ashley?
Why does Bruce persist with playing the waste of space Joelinton!!!

Here here mate, Leeds supporter too... I don’t mind Newcastle at all and it’s shocking to see such a big club being messed about. Bruce needs to go and by Monday!
Just enjoy it.
Neutral here. It's Mike Ashley who's ruining the club. He's football's version of the McCaskeys(owners of the NFL's Chicago Bears) who only care for the bottom line, and not results. They also hire bumpkins and wastes of space and are ridiculously cheap.

if ever i have seen a team with no leadership and lack of passion, Newcastle showed it today...well done Brighton, but Newcastle you were embarrassing
So pleased for Welbs
Hes a top.player shut down by appalling luck with injury.

Newcastle deserve all that coming to them, in 3 years they will be playing Hartlepool Utd, and Gateshead. A once great club destroyed, If and when supporters are allowed into games, ANYONE paying to see tripe masquarading as football deserves all they get. Me ? I'd rather play Ludo.
Fair go mate, I know it's about 60 years since Newcastle won anything, But I'm told they will get better, When will this be, Approx the 12th of NEVER.
A total disgrace Bruce, set us up to sit deep, we need wins, and you conjure that rubbish up tonight. If he is not sacked this week then somethin is seriously wrong, can he not drop any more hints to you Ashley, am sure you would want to lose 3 million paying him off then the money you would lose when we drop. Serves you right anyway for letting Rafa leave and replacing him with that....
Rafa was offered a new generous contract but didn’t want to stay as he’d already negotiated a better contract in China. Surely you know this, everyone else does.
Bruce was doing a great job before Covid we was a fortress at home. We would be champions league if it wasn’t for pandemic. Get behind Bruce
It’s easy to point the blame at Bruce. He won’t be short of offers when he goes FACT. Before Covid he was one of managers of the year FACT. Get behind Bruce.
RAFA would never have stayed without backing..Bruce is the fall guy...a limited defensive coach though...not sure Pep could get newcastle to win ystrday...and when you signed Caroll as bck up thght you were doomed
Well done Brighton. Well deserved win.
This Newcastle team are woeful.. its actually quite sad to see how poor they've become. Bruce will probably get a nice pay off for being a failure again. Well done Brighton
Dont want to get carried away but we are only 14 points off Europa league place
Sorry to Toon fans on that performance you are doomed, I was a big fan of Shelvey even when in Championship I wanted to see him in the England squad, apart from a few good passes a shadow of the player a few seasons ago. Very happy with the 3 points for BHA and our performance tonight but to be honest we didnt have a lot to beat.
Sad to see the state Newcastle are in. Herbert Champion who led Newcastle to 3 league titles on the bounce in the 1920’s will be turning in his grave.
Ha Ha comedy gold! Surely you can't mean Herbert Chapman at Huddersfield Town?
If you mean Herbert Chapman, he managed Huddersfield in the 1920s. If you don’t, maybe you mean Harry Champion. Look him up.
Where are all the CUNdiTS who spent the early season claiming Bruce was better than Rafa after 5/10/15 games? Probably realising a season is 38 games.
At least now people will realise just how inept Bruce is.
Won nothing as a manager, has no plan B yet Newcastle fans were being told to be thankful for him.
Sacking him now will be like most of Ashley's decisions - too little, too late! Removed

Newcastle's need to sack Steve Bruce is even more urgent than Tottenham's need to sack Moronho.
Mark Hughes is the most likely replacement if the NFC fans drive Steve Bruce out.
Dim....do one
Always liked Brighton ever since watching them as underdogs lose to Everton in the 1984 FA Cup Final. If only Gordon Smith hadn’t missed that sitter in the last minute, Everton wouldn’t have won 1-0 (Paul Rideout with the winner)
For the love of God will just find a hole somewhere and expire!
Er... history check - B&HA lost the 1983 Final to Man U! Keep drinking!
Not quite. It was 1983, it was 2-2 and it was against Manchester United.
Why do you do this on all the comments sections ?
Literally no one finds it funny except you....you are truly pathetic if you think others find you funny/witty.

You're getting confused. It was Brighton vs Southampton in the famous 1985 El Coastico Final. Gordon Smith was the first player to be sent off in a final in that match. Southampton won the replay 4-0.
Are you sure it was Everton? I thought they lost to Portsmouth.
Brighton got to the FA cup final in 1983 and lost to Man Utd after a replay. Otherwise spot on. ??
Do you mean Man U? I didn't know we had been in two FA Cup finals...
Newcastle fans you have my sympathy. ABSOLUTELY pathetic.
Brighton fans. Great to watch, 3 cracking goals.

And this win today
Make Steve Bruce and Big Sam say 'you rotter!'

It’s only football, you still get to see your team next season whichever league their in.
Or do you loose interest if their not in the premier league.

About time! After that Palace game i would have sacked the Brighton front players. Abysmal. If you go down it will remain in Palace history.
Taxi for Bruce?

Affirmative
Not a fan of either club but it is clear that Sunderland have many more loyal fans. Even in the 3rd tier, more fans turn up to watch them than Newcastle fans at St.James’s Park (pre-lockdown)
That’s simply not true. I would commend your effort at trolling but that was worse than Newcastle’s performance tonight.

Well done Albion. Onwards and Upwards. Up the Albion !
Amazing that both sides are actually in the Premier League considering they only have about 5 wins between them. Hopefully the higher powers ban them until they start becoming competitive
Thing is, you don't relegate anyone until the season has finished. When you have something sensible to to say, we'll all be waiting...
Man u supporter no doubt. Prxck
The powers that be have tabled a motion of no confidence toward any team from croydon

Well done Brighton.Cogratulations from ALL Sunderland supporters.
Typical mackems more obsessed about Newcastle United than what we are....
Jim loving it
Amazing both Newcastle and Sunderland still exist tbh, they've never offered anything and should have been kicked out the league years ago. The Falcons at Kingston Park are much bigger than them and have actually won the top flight in the past 25 years

Really pleased to see Danny Welbeck proving people wrong. Playing the best football of his career and based on current form, is in the top 5 strikers in Europe right now.

What a refreshing change, not to have my heart beating in my stomach for the last half hour. Excellent all round performance from Brighton and although we played better than them at every position, Newcastle were awful. I feel sorry for their fans. Last 30 minutes, looked like they completely gave up. Go Seagulls.

I'll support Northern teams anytime and there's no kinder or finer people in the UK than the Geordies, but I'm sorry - tonight Newcastle were utterly, utterly woeful. Sorry lads, but that's how it was.

Only tonight? Where you been?

Finally the quality of our play results in goals !!
A tough run in....but with the performances we’ve been putting out recently I’m certain we’ll be fine...and even maybe catch Southampton, Burnley or wolves.??

Steve Bruce the fraud of a manager has finally been sussed and Mike ashley is now get what he deserves...RELEGATION for the 3rd time as NUFC owner. For perspective before he was owner NUFC were relegated only 4 times in over 100 years.
Exactly, get him and Bruce put even if it costs relegation to the 3rd tier. City did it and look at them now.
That’s harsh he was doing an amazing job before Covid and he won’t be short of offers if he goes he will get a bigger job then us. BRUCE IN
He was doing an amazing job before Covid. He won’t be short of offers when he goes. He probably get a bigger job then us. #BRUCE IN
That's because it took them longer to get back , presumably.
Sounds like Mr Ashley has found an alternate business model here. Staying up at lower PL levels is costly. Get relegated and profit substantially, and then profit again when promoted. Not been so successful...only managed it 3 times in 13 years or so. But he is trying hard with his managerial appointment. Parachute payment will help cover Bruce's severance (bonus?) payment.

3 great goals.
34% possession, 3 shots 1 on target.
Sez it all really.
Very drab effort considering importance of game.

Great stuff Brighton, I really hope you stay up.Come on Fulham, you can do it.
Fulham need to play better than they did against Leeds or their lack of goals from earlier in the season will come to haunt them.
I will say one thing for Steve Bruce, he has a good head of hair for an older guy !!
Bruce has to be sacked now. The bloke hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing. Unbelievably incompetent! Newcastle are the worst club in the division by miles.
Sacking Bruce is treating the symptom. All your problems lead straight back to Ashley.
NFC fans deserve better.

With the worst back 4 in the league, is it any wonder the midfield have to be defending too? Fix the back four and maybe the other 6 outfield players can do their jobs... abysmal! I'd change the entire back line for the next match... sell the lot of them! No marking, no tracking, no pressing...

A really good result for Brighton & could have scored more but what were Newcastle thinking of, allowing Brighton to completely dominate the midfield & allowing the forwards so much space. Sanchez should have brought his deckchair with him considering what he had to.
Welbeck man of the match for me.

Shameful really..

Newcastle need a bounce from somewhere, only option to get one is to change the management team.
Even Ashley must realise that his asset will be devalued if they drop into the Championship. There's plenty of teams who have failed to regain Premiership status after relegation!

Newcastle will now be fighting with Crystal Palace for the services of Steven Gerrard
Mark Hughes will end up at the Sports direct ground.
There’s not a hope in hell that Gerrard will leave Rangers before 2023
It's a toss-up between Newcastle and Palace as to who is the worst team to watch in the division. With an honourable mention for WBA too. Something to do with the 3 dinosaurs in charge?

Been saying it all season, atleast fulham and Brighton TRY to play decent football.
Bruce hasn't got a clue what decent football is, let alone the ability to coach that into his team.
Newcastle deserve to go down, they have no style of play, terrible anti football hit and rush tactics, pub team manager, pub team owner.
For their fans, I hope they get relegated to get rid of Ashley and Bruce

To be consistently this bad, with the level of football knowledge, skill, years of training and on pitch savvi.
Time to trade the team in for the local junior school under 10’s.
Poor attitude, performance and regard for fans.
If you showed this work ethic you would not have a job !

You are spot on Matt most of those players wouldn't have got in our Sunday morning league team years ago what a set of money grabbing wasters as for Bruce our pub team had a better manager.
Unfortunately when we do go down, he will hold onto the club as he won't get enough for it when it's in the championship.
Long may Ashley and Bruce reign, they are the best thing to happen to this club, where the massed ranks of the delusional think it’s their given right to be a top team
Well said .. Bruce,Allardyce,Pulis etc are Sunday league negative creatively bankrupt coaches ..who just suck all the enjoyment out of football ... Hoofball centre halves as players and Hoofball coaches now...
We don’t need these people in football we need coaches to coach football... and improve the players under their control .. eg Brighton
