The 23rd day of the Premier League continued this Saturday afternoon with several high-level posters. Newcastle also hosted Luton Town to confirm their good series with three victories in the last four meetings. From the outset, the meeting started off on a high note. Sean Longstaff having opened the scoring, it was finally Gabriel Osho who equalized a few minutes later. And even when the English midfielder of the Magpies scored the double, it was Ross Barkley who brought the two teams back up to par just before the break. Returning from the locker room, Eddie Howe’s flock took on water by conceding two goals in three minutes. Heading towards a crushing defeat, the men in black and white were ultimately saved by two goals from Kieran Trippier and Harvey Barnes. A loser who doesn’t do anyone’s business in the races for European places and maintenance.

At the same time, Brighton carried out the great operation of the afternoon. Very quickly superior to a suffering Crystal Palace this Saturday, the Seagulls opened the scoring thanks to Lewis Dunk. The latter even took off in the 33rd minute thanks to young (18 year old) Jack Hinshelwood before scoring a third goal thanks to Buonanotte a few seconds later. Jean-Philippe Mateta’s reduction in the gap in the second period did not change the final result, especially since Joao Pedro added to the score at the end of the match. A nice success for the club from the south of England which climbs to seventh place thanks to this victory. In the last meeting this Saturday afternoon, Burnley held Fulham in check thanks to a saving double from rookie David Datro Fofana in the second half.
