\n\tNEWCASTLE:\u00a0Danny Welbeck sent Brighton into the FA Cup quarterfinals as his extra-time strike clinched a dramatic 2-1 win against Newcastle in a stormy clash scarred by red cards for both teams.<\/p>\n
\n\tAlexander Isak\u2019s penalty put Newcastle ahead in the fifth-round tie at St. James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n
\n\tFormer Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh equalized before the break, setting the stage for an explosive second half.<\/p>\n
\n\tNewcastle forward Anthony Gordon was sent off for violent conduct in the 83rd minute after shoving Brighton\u2019s Jan Paul van Hecke in the head.<\/p>\n
\n\tBrighton were also reduced to 10 men late in the second half when Tariq Lamptey was dismissed for a second booking.<\/p>\n
\n\tFabian Hurzeler\u2019s side emerged victorious thanks to Welbeck\u2019s strike in the closing stages of extra time.<\/p>\n
\n\tBrighton have never lifted the FA Cup and last reached the final in 1983 when they lost in a replay against Manchester United. The Seagulls have won five successive matches since their 7-0 thrashing at Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
\n\tThey are through to the quarterfinals for the second time in three seasons after winning at St. James\u2019 Park for the second time this season.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt was a bitter blow for Newcastle, who haven\u2019t won a domestic trophy since landing the 1955 FA Cup, while their last major trophy was the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.<\/p>\n
\n\tUnless Newcastle appeal against Gordon\u2019s three-match ban, they will be without one of their key players for the League Cup final against Premier League leaders Liverpool at Wembley on March 16.<\/p>\n
\n\tNewcastle made a vibrant start as Harvey Barnes lofted a pin-point cross to the far post, where Isak blazed over from close-range after his initial effort was blocked by Adam Webster.<\/p>\n
\n\tIsak tested Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen with a long-range drive before Newcastle took the lead in the 22nd minute.<\/p>\n
\n\tMinteh conceded a penalty with his rash challenge on Tino Livramento. Isak confidently lashed the spot kick into the top corner.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt was Isak\u2019s 22nd goal in all competitions this season and the Sweden striker had the ball in the net again with a ferocious blast, only for an offside flag to curtail his celebrations.<\/p>\n
\n\tNewcastle looked in complete command when Anthony Gordon cut inside for a curler that Verbruggen saved at full stretch.<\/p>\n
\n\tBut Brighton snatched an equalizer against the run of play in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n
\n\tJoao Pedro\u2019s superb pass picked out Minteh inside the area and the Gambian\u2019s shot took a deflection as it flashed past Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka.<\/p>\n
\n\tIt was a sweet moment for Minteh, who joined Brighton from Newcastle last year in a \u00a330 million ($37 million) deal.<\/p>\n
\n\tGordon saw red with seven minutes left in normal time, the England star lashing out at Van Hecke as they challenged for the ball after play was stopped for offside against Isak.<\/p>\n
\n\tLamptey followed Gordon down the tunnel in stoppage-time after the Brighton defender\u2019s rash foul on Jacob Murphy.<\/p>\n
\n\tFabian Schar thought he had volleyed Newcastle\u2019s winner in stoppage-time, but the defender was ruled offside after a VAR check.<\/p>\n
\n\tBrighton came on strong in extra time. Dubravka made a fine stop to keep out Diego Gomez\u2019s rocket from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n
\n\tNewcastle had wilted and Welbeck won it for the Seagulls in the 114th minute, racing onto Solly March\u2019s defense-splitting pass and clipping his shot over Dubravka.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
