Newcastle salvage draw at Brighton

Newcastle United escaped the Amex Stadium with a point after Alexander Isak scored a last-gasp penalty in a 1-1 Premier League draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday in a key result for their chase of Champions League qualification.

Brighton looked poised for victory after winger Yankuba Minteh struck in the first half, but Isak stepped up to the penalty spot in the 89th minute and sent goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen the wrong way with his 23rd league goal of the season.

The penalty was given after Yasin Ayari inexplicably stuck his arm out to stop Kieran Trippier's free-kick.

Newcastle are fourth in the table on 63 points with three games remaining, three points ahead of Chelsea and Nottingham Forest who both have a game in hand. Brighton are 10th.

Minteh scored against his former team with Brighton's first decent opportunity of the match in the 28th minute when he cut the ball inside to his left foot before unleashing a blistering shot through a crowd into the far corner.

Hammers and Spurs keep up poor league form

London rivals West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur's disappointing Premier League form continued as they played out a 1-1 draw on Sunday that kept both stuck just above the relegation places.

A much-changed Spurs scored the opener after 15 minutes through Wilson Odobert but the lead lasted only 13 minutes before Jarrod Bowen equalised for the home team. The draw left Tottenham in 16th spot and facing their worst finish since 1977. They are a single point above the 17th-placed Hammers whose winless run in the league was extended to eight games, stretching back to February.

Arsenal must use 'rage': Arteta

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hoped to carry positive momentum into Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at Paris St Germain but instead called on his players to harness their rage from Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Bournemouth. Declan Rice marked his 100th Arsenal appearance with a well-taken goal to give the hosts a lead at the break as they sought to tighten their grip on second place in the Premier League.
