The Spanish Robert Sánchez saved a point for Brighton & Hove Albion, although it cost him an expulsion in the last minutes in the game against Newcastle, but that He avoided a goal sung for the ‘Urracas’ (1-1) that would have meant defeat for his team. The Spanish goal knocked down Callum Wilson when he was facing only the empty goal. The Brighton goalkeeper saw the red card, who had to finish the last minutes with Lewis Dunk, the center, in goal.
