Newcastle United surrendered the lead against Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup as they wasted their big chance to get to another Wembley final.
The Magpies grabbed the lead mid-way through the first half after Tino Livramento was upended by Yankuba Minteh and Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot. Alexander Isak confidently stepped up to fire it into the left-hand corner of the net and hand Newcastle a deserved 1-0 advantage.
But Minteh levelled the game up just before half-time after finding himself free before calmly stroking it past Martin Dubravka after Joao Pedro’s pass.
The tie was made more difficult when Anthony Gordon was sent off for raising his hands to Jan Paul Van Hecke in the second half with the Scouser ruled out the Carabao Cup final as a consequence. But the game was levelled up in terms of stars on the field when Tariq Lamptey also got his marching orders for a second yellow card.
Brighton sub Danny Welbeck netted in stoppage time to steal the game for the travelling side.
Howe United rated overall:
Martin Dubravka 6
Some important saves at 1-1 but left totally exposed for second goal.
Kieran Trippier 7
Threw himself in to nine tackles but ran out of steam before coming off early.
Fabian Schar 6
Thought he’d won it but struggled through extra time.
Dan Burn 7
Gave it his best shot and almost nicked an equaliser in extra time.
Tino Livramento 6
Battled away in two positions but could have done more to stop Pedro in build-up to extra time winner for Welbeck.
Sandro Tonali 7
Ran himself into the ground with a brave display.
Joelinton 6
Valuable minutes in the tank and physical presence made a welcome return.
Lewis Miley 6
Not as effective as he’s been in recent games.
Anthony Gordon 3
A poor game by his standards and a red card that could have cost his team dear.

Failed to take his chance. Pulled off after 55 minutes after no shots.
Alexander Isak 7
Started well enough and netted a perfect penalty before running out of gas.
