Newcastle hosts Brighton in the FA Cup Round of 16 showdown.
The teams exchanged goals in the first half. Alexander Isak opened the scoring with a penalty, while Jakub Minter equalized. No more goals were scored in regular time, pushing the match into extra time.
In 90 minutes of play, the referee showed two red cards. Newcastle was reduced to ten men following Anthony Gordon's sending off. Brighton's Tariq Lamptey also saw red, leaving his team in the lurch.
Interestingly, the Newcastle vs. Brighton match became the first FA Cup match between Premier League teams where both sides received red cards since the Everton vs. Chelsea match in March 2016. Back then, Gareth Barry and Diego Costa were sent off.
Earlier, we reported that Alexander Isak became the top Swedish scorer in Premier League history.
