HOWE'S MEN WEL BEATEN

Danny's goal plus Gordon's red card and exhausted players leave Toon and their boss in a bad place

- JOHN CROSS

WHAT an incredible advert for the FA Cup.

But a seriously bad day for Newcastle as they crashed out, Anthony Gordon's sending-off rules him out of the Carabao Cup final and the gruelling 120 minutes left others playing on one leg.

It was an absolutely bonkers tie decided by a wonderful piece of quality from Brighton's supersub Danny Welbeck (below) who left the pocket of away fans singing about Wembley.

Brighton were terrific as their Newcastle hoodoo struck again.

They have now beaten the Toon Army in their last five meetings in the FA Cup and this was their second win at St James' Park this season.

It was no more than the visitors deserved as Brighton had 21 shots to Newcastle's 15 and you just could not take your eyes off what must have been a superb Sunday afternoon of TV entertainment.
