DANNY WELBECK SHINES WITH BRACE IN BRIGHTON’S NEWCASTLE VICTORY
Danny Welbeck's brace, including an 84th-minute winner, seals a 2-1 victory for Brighton over Newcastle. Nick Woltemade's clever back-heel equaliser wasn't enough for the Magpies at the Amex Stadium.
At the Amex Stadium, Brighton defeated Newcastle 2-1 in the Premier League thanks to two goals from Danny Welbeck.
When Nick Woltemade equalised with a wicked backheel 14 minutes from time, Eddie Howe's visitors appeared to have salvaged a point their efforts deserved.
After Newcastle's midfield appeared to have vanished, Welbeck gave Brighton the lead in the first half with a beautiful finish past Nick Pope.
And the former England forward scored the game-winning goal in the 84th minute with yet another display of composure and accuracy, giving Fabian Hurzeler's team their third victory against Champions League opponents this season.
Although Brighton's brilliant forward play was a constant danger, Newcastle may reasonably ask how they lost a game that they appeared to have controlled for the most part.
Joelinton stupidly threw the ball deep inside his own half to Welbeck, who was hiding there and quickly passed it off to Georginio Rutter.
Rutter blasted low for the corner, and Pope had to be at full stretch to go down there and save his team.
Brighton's Yankuba Minteh then went in down the right, but he decided to pass instead of shooting. Malick Thiaw was able to shovel the ball to safety because it was never on.
After a clash with Pope earlier, Brighton lost Diego Gomez after thirty-five minutes. Their rhythm remained unaffected, and they took the lead at halftime.
Welbeck finished with unwavering composure after Rutter took possession in midfield and appeared to mislead Sandro Tonali and the rest of Newcastle's midfield with a deft, unexpected lunge down the centre. He drove into space and rolled the ball up for Welbeck, who slid into a gaping hole between the two central defenders.
Soon after the interval, Minteh assisted in creating a spectacular opening for his team. Welbeck declined requests to shoot, and Kaoru Mitoma refused as well, causing Yasin Ayari to veer painfully wide.
It was then Ayari's time to falter while facing Pope, passing the ball rather than shooting, continuing a pattern that was at this point clearly annoying home crowds, who cried out in vain for a goal.
After Bruno Guimaraes recovered from Mitoma's charge and made a fantastic stop against Bart Verbruggen, Newcastle was regrettably denied a closer look at a potential handball during the follow-up.
Moments later, they would be level, and it was a memorable conclusion. Although it was a clever move, Lewis Miley's reverse ball to Woltemade did not set up the striker for a clear goal.
Woltemade walked across the ball, turned his back, and used his heel to knock it across the goal and into the corner in a flawless moment that combined timing, technique, and inventiveness.
After Verbruggen flailed helplessly at danger inside the box, with Ayari deflecting his snapshot over, Guimaraes should have won it for Newcastle.
They would regret the chance lost. Welbeck was positioned right next to Dan Burn, who slid to block Mats Wieffer's shot. Welbeck remained composed and curled home Brighton's winner with a lazy right boot.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
