Steve Bruce's side were comprehensively outplayed as Brighton cruised to victory with goals by Leandro Trossard, Danny Welbeck and Neal Maupay. To rub salt into their wounds they lost midfielder Isaac Hayden to what looked a serious knee injury shortly before Trossard's opener on the stroke of halftime. "The mood is the lowest it's been. We just weren't good enough," said Newcastle winger Ryan Fraser, who hit the post shortly before Welbeck made it 2-0. "We're not in the bottom three yet and we've still got games remaining," Fraser said.
