Newcastle United's manager Eddie Howe expressed hope for a Champions League spot after a late draw against Brighton. Both teams showed fierce determination, with Brighton leading through Yankuba Minteh's goal until Alexander Isak equalized via a VAR-awarded penalty. This draw ended Newcastle's 20-game streak without a tie, keeping them fourth in the league with three games to go. Howe acknowledged the competitive nature of the race for European places and praised VAR's role, highlighting Isak's impressive goal tally as a key player for Newcastle's season.
"We've got top quality teams fighting for a massive prize. We just hope we're in there."
"I'm happy for VAR to make those calls. Iâve no major criticism other than maybe we were not creative enough and not at our clinical best in front of goal."
