Newcastle United’s three-game winning run came to an end as the Magpies dropped all three points against Brighton at the Falmer Stadium on Sunday.
Rafael Benitez’s side had pipped Brighton to the Championship title last season but the hosts grabbed an important win in the Premier League courtesy of a goal from striker Tomer Hemed.
Benitez, however, deems Hemed’s 51st minute winner as a ‘foul’ highlighting an incident in the build up that saw Chancel Mbemba go to the ground after a collision.
“The goal, for me, was a foul, it’s a blocking in movement…he’s pushing and blocking in movement,” he told Sky Sports.
