Albion had to settle for a point against Newcastle.

But there was no shortage of talking points from a 1-1 draw at the Amex.

Our audio review looks at why this might be seen as two points dropped by the Seagulls.

And also why they could feel they did not really deserve more.

We also look at what was being said by Fabian Hurzeler and Eddie Howe after an afternoon which was eventually dominated by VAR-related debates.

Craig Pawson was in the fans’ sights – as he was when Howe was in the away technical area a few years ago now.

And we pause to recall events at Hereford 28 years ago this weekend – and how two of the stalwarts of that side were welcomed back.

Alexander Isak’s late penalty salvaged Newcastle a draw after his side had two second-half spot-kick awards overturned following VAR intervention.

The Magpies striker converted his 27th goal of the season two minutes from time when Seagulls substitute Yasin Ayari was punished for handling a Fabian Schar free-kick.

Referee Craig Pawson had earlier reversed his initial decision after replays showed Anthony Gordon was fouled just outside the box by Tariq Lamptey before doing so again following a dive by Joe Willock.

In their quest to qualify for the Champions League, Newcastle fell behind in the first half when Albion winger Yankuba Minteh opened the scoring against his former club.

A dramatic draw at the Amex Stadium leaves Eddie Howe’s side fourth – three points clear of sixth spot.

Brighton, who also harbour European ambitions, remain tenth.
