Danny Welbeck's extra-time strike seals FA Cup victory for Brighton over Newcastle

Danny Welbeck emerged from the substitutes' bench to net the decisive goal in extra time, leading Brighton to a 2-1 comeback victory over Newcastle and securing a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

In a later match, Fulham triumphed over Manchester United in a penalty shootout after their encounter concluded in a 1-1 draw.

Welbeck executed a deft finish in the 114th minute at St James' Park, as the Seagulls rallied after conceding an early penalty to Alexander Isak.

The match began with both teams creating half-chances, but Newcastle was awarded a significant opportunity from the penalty spot when Tino Livramento was clumsily fouled by Yankuba Minteh.

Isak, returning to the starting lineup following a groin injury, confidently converted the penalty, sending his shot past Bart Verbruggen.

Ten minutes later, Isak appeared to have scored his second goal of the match with a powerful shot at the near post, only to be denied by an offside call.

Just before halftime, Minteh, who previously played for Newcastle, redeemed himself by charging forward to equalize with Brighton's first shot on target.

Tensions escalated in the second half when Anthony Gordon received a red card for elbowing Jan Paul van Hecke, followed by Tariq Lamptey of Brighton being sent off for a deliberate foul.

Fabian Schar believed he had secured victory for Newcastle with a well-placed finish late in the game, but his goal was disallowed after the new semi-automated offside technology revealed a narrow offside position.

Brighton intensified their efforts in extra time, culminating in Welbeck's goal six minutes before the end, as he evaded the offside trap and lifted a shot over Martin Dubravka into the net.

On Sunday, the current FA Cup holders, Manchester United, faced a heartbreaking elimination in the penalty shootout against Fulham, following a match that concluded in a 1-1 draw after extra time.
