In defeat at Brighton
Woltemade Gala: DFB star scores dream goal for Newcastle

Although it is a defeat for Newcastle, the attacker scores with a trick to equalize for his “Magpies”.
Despite his next goal, Nick Woltemade suffered a defeat with Newcastle United in the Premier League. The German international soccer player scored with a backheel in the 76th minute to make it 1-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion. The hosts, coached by former St. Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler, ultimately won 2-1 (1-0) at home. The man of the match was Danny Welbeck with his two goals in the 41st and 84th minutes.
But Woltemade’s goal outshone the game. The 76th minute in Brighton: Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy broke through on the right and Bruno Guimarães passed the ball to Lewis Miley in the Brighton penalty area. He immediately passed on to the penalty spot – and there Woltemade artistically got to the ball, tipped it towards the left corner of the goal in a defense that was in a deep sleep. Unsustainable for Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, who, surprised, stretched in vain.
After his important 1-0 winning goal for the German national team in the World Cup qualifier in Northern Ireland, Woltemade was successful for the fourth time for his new club. The attacker, who came from VfB Stuttgart, spectacularly extended a cross from the right side into the net. Ultimately, that wasn’t enough against Hürzeler’s team, which had previously had the same number of points and had improved into the upper midfield. Newcastle remains behind with nine points for the time being.
Thanks to Erling Haaland, Manchester City continues to be at the forefront. The Norwegian striker made it 2-0 (0-0) over Everton FC with a brace within five minutes (58th/63rd).
