Brighton & Hove Albion took the lead in the 18th minute when Joël Veltman struck a powerful shot from the left side of the six-yard box, finding the bottom right corner of the net.

The match drew attention on social media platforms, with fans expressing mixed emotions about the outcome. Some fans lamented Newcastle's inability to score more than one goal in a game for nearly three months, while others highlighted the absence of key players such as March and Mitoma, who were sorely missed.

On the other hand, Brighton & Hove Albion supporters felt that their team could have done better, expressing disappointment with their performance, particularly in a crucial away match.

*^(Rough news this week about March most likely missing the start of the season as well. Such a big miss him and Mitoma and our replacements just don't offer the same ability at all.)*
*^(Brighton were asking to be beat, rough considering its our last home game and we didnt look up for it.)*
*^(Meh. Not sure I agree entirely.)*

*^(They're good in possession and basically sat behind the ball hoping they could counter and isolate Krafth and Burn. If we'd have gone hung ho we'd have probably lost by two or three.)*

*^(It's a been a long season with all our best players out of action for long periods. Even Wilson going down late limited us.)*
