27 Pictures of Newcastle United Fans as Magpies End Losing Run
Goals from William Osula, Dan Burn and Harvey Barnes ended Newcastle’s five-match skid and revived their bid for European qualification, the club said.
On Saturday, Newcastle United defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 at St James' Park, ending a five-game losing streak that had threatened to derail the club's season.
Will Osula opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by Dan Burn's header in the 24th minute to establish a 2-0 halftime lead for the Magpies.
More than 52,000 fans witnessed the first home win since early March, with substitute Harvey Barnes sealing victory in stoppage time as goalkeeper Nick Pope made crucial saves.
Chasing European football for next season, Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes emphasized the team must win their remaining three games to stay in contention for seventh place.
Brentford currently occupies seventh place with six points more than the Magpies, while Newcastle faces Nottingham Forest and Fulham away before hosting West Ham United.
