Both Dwight Gayle and Ciaran Clark had goals disallowed as a dominant Newcastle were defeated 1-0 by Blackburn at Ewood Park. The Magpies were all over their opponents for almost the entire game, but Charlie Mulgrew curled a low free-kick past Karl Darlow to claim a surprise win for Rovers, which knocked Rafa Benitez's men off top spot.
Tomer Hemed and Lewis Dunk scored within a minute of each other to stretch Brighton’s unbeaten run to 18 games – and move top of the Championship table. Lucas Piazon had put the hosts ahead 10 minutes into the second half after Johansen’s missed penalty in the opening period, but Brighton had enough about them to fight back and claim a memorable win.
