European aspirations are on the line for both Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion as they lock horns at St. James’ Park on Thursday. Callum Wilson scoring twice from the spot didn’t prove to be enough for Newcastle United as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Leeds United last weekend. Leeds United had taken the lead through Luke Ayling as early as the seventh minute.
Sam Allardyce’s men then squandered a penalty before the Magpies secured the lead thanks to Wilson’s brace. However, Rasmus Kristensen’s deflected shot found the back of the net in the 79th minute to stop Newcastle United from getting one step closer to securing a Champions League berth.
After failing to win their last two games, the Magpies’ position at third in the Premier League table looks vulnerable. Manchester United, who are fourth, are tied on points with them. Liverpool, who have played a game more, are just a point behind them.
Newcastle United’s sturdiness at the back has deteriorated in recent weeks and they haven’t managed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight Premier League outings.
