Maupay's quick double helps Brighton to 3-0 win at Newcastle
Neal Maupay scored twice in the opening seven minutes to set Brighton on its way to a 3-0 victory at Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday. Aaron Connolly wrapped up the victory in the 83rd before Brighton had Yves Bissouma sent off for catching Jamal Lewis in the face with his studs in the 89th. Maupay took full advantage of Allan Saint-Maximin's injudicious challenge on Tariq Lamptey inside the box to fire the visitors ahead from a fourth-minute penalty, and the lead was doubled before the Magpies could reset.
