Newcastle wins to push further clear of EPL’s bottom three

KIFI

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Ryan Fraser and Fabian Schar scored early for Newcastle as its English Premier League recovery survived a concerted Brighton fightback in a 2-1 win.

Newcastle moved seven points clear of the relegation zone. Brighton had lost none of the previous nine Premier League meetings between the sides and not conceded a single goal on Tyneside in the process but the two they conceded courtesy of Fraser and Schar inside three first-half minutes ultimately proved decisive.
