It was a bitter blow for Newcastle, who haven't won a domestic trophy since landing the 1955 FA Cup, while their last major trophy was the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

<h2>Brighton hit back</h2>
Newcastle made a vibrant start as Harvey Barnes lofted a pin-point cross to the far post, where Isak blazed over from close range after his initial effort was blocked by Adam Webster.
Isak tested Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen with a long-range drive before Newcastle took the lead in the 22nd minute. Minteh conceded a penalty with his rash challenge on Tino Livramento. Isak confidently lashed the spot-kick into the top corner.
It was Isak's 22nd goal in all competitions this season, and the Sweden striker had the ball in the net again with a ferocious blast, only for an offside flag to curtail his celebrations.
Newcastle looked in complete command when Anthony Gordon cut inside for a curler that Verbruggen saved at full stretch.&nbsp;But Brighton snatched an equaliser against the run of play in the 44th minute.
Joao Pedro's superb pass picked out Minteh inside the area, and the Gambian's shot took a deflection as it flashed past Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka.
It was a sweet moment for Minteh, who joined Brighton from Newcastle last year in a &pound;30 million ($37 million) deal.&nbsp;Gordon saw red with seven minutes left in normal time, the England star lashing out at Van Hecke as they challenged for the ball after play was stopped for offside against Isak.
Lamptey followed Gordon down the tunnel in stoppage-time after the Brighton defender's rash foul on Jacob Murphy. Fabian Schar thought he had volleyed Newcastle's winner in stoppage time, but the defender was ruled offside after a VAR check.
Brighton came on strong in extra time. Dubravka made a fine stop to keep out Diego Gomez's rocket from the edge of the area.
Newcastle had wilted, and Welbeck won it for the Seagulls in the 114th minute, racing onto Solly March's defence-splitting pass and clipping his shot over Dubravka.

FA Cup: Welbeck sinks Newcastle as Brighton reach quarterfinals

Danny Welbeck's late equaliser denied Crystal Palace a first Premier League win in seven games as Brighton salvaged a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park on Thursday. Jordan Ayew headed the Eagles into the lead in first half stoppage time as Palace pounced on Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen's poor clearance.

However, the home side could not hold out as this fixture ended 1-1 at Selhurst Park for the fifth consecutive season. After a bright start to the season, Brighton have won just twice in their last 12 league games as a lengthy injury list and the club's first ever foray into European football has taken its toll.

The Seagulls have also now gone a club-record 22 successive league games without keeping a clean sheet. But Robert De Zerbi's changes for the second half summoned a response from the visitors. "I think we lost two points but if we lost two points it is because we made too many mistakes, especially in the first half," said De Zerbi. "We played with more energy in the second half and found the chance to score."

Welbeck's introduction was one of two half-time substitutions and the former England international's precise header into the top corner from Pascal Gross' cross levelled on 82 minutes. A point edges Brighton up to eighth in the table, while Palace move nine points clear of the relegation zone in 15th.

Roy Hodgson's men have still won just once at home all season, but the former England manager admitted Brighton were worthy of at least a point after dominating the second half.

"I can't deny the quality of Brighton's second half performance, and they were worthy of their goal," said Hodgson. "I think I've got to say that at the end of the day, with (it being) a derby game, I think we have to be satisfied with one point."

Premier League: Danny Welbeck salvages draw for Brighton at Crystal Palace

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck had an operation on Friday, a day after <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/danny-welbeck-taken-to-hospital-with-serious-injury-176386">breaking his ankle</a> in his side's goalless draw against Sporting Lisbon, but it remains unclear how long his recovery will take, Gunners' manager Unai Emery said on Sunday.

Speaking after Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, Emery confirmed the England international needed surgery after breaking his ankle in the midweek Europa League game.

Emery at first appeared to suggest that Welbeck could be back with the club before too long but he also made it clear that he had no idea how long the player's recovery from the "big injury" might take.

"We spoke with him yesterday and today... I think he's going to come with us in not a long time. He did the operation Friday," Emery said.

Asked if Welbeck could be back on the pitch before the end of the season next May, however, Emery said that he simply did not know.

"I think it's better the doctor say to you. It's a big injury. The doctor can say better than me," he said.

Danny Welbeck has surgery on ankle but recovery time is unclear

Arsenal and Chelsea were among seven teams to reach the Europa League knockout stage on Thursday, while last year's runners-up Olympique de Marseille were eliminated at the group phase.

The two Premier League teams were joined by Eintracht Frankfurt, Lazio, Bayer Leverkusen, FC Zurich and Dinamo Zagreb in the last 32 with two games still to play before the draw for the next round in Nyon, Switzerland on Dec. 17.

Arsenal qualified with a 0-0 draw against Sporting at The Emirates, although striker Danny Welbeck was carried off on a stretcher in the first half with a serious ankle injury, while Chelsea won 1-0 at BATE Borisov in one of the early kickoffs.

A heavily changed Arsenal side were unable to break down a dogged Sporting team, who were reduced to 10 men in the 88th minute when defender Jeremy Mathieu fouled striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he raced towards the area.

However, the point was enough to guarantee the north London side a place in the last 32 atop Group E on 10 points, with Sporting behind them on seven. Vorskla Poltava lost 1-0 to FK Qarabag, with both teams on three points.

Arsenal forward Welbeck was taken off on a stretcher and given oxygen in the 25th minute after landing awkwardly when jumping for a header only hours after being named in the England squad for their next internationals.

Earlier, Chelsea's France striker Giroud got his first goal this season in the second half to secure a win at BATE, meaning Maurizio Sarri's side have qualified from Group L.

"I think the first target in this competition was to qualify and now the second target is to win our group so I think we need one more point," the Italian coach said.

"It's very important because then we can talk again about this competition in February when we will have another target."

Chelsea have yet to lose under Sarri so far this season.

MARSEILLE MISERY

Marseille were dumped out when they lost 2-1 at Lazio in Group H. Goals from Marco Parolo and Joaquin Correa were enough to extend a miserable run for the French side, who have now lost four games in a row in all competitions.

Lazio, meanwhile, went through along with Eintracht who eliminated Apollon Limassol with a 3-2 victory in the other game in the section.

Leverkusen joined both teams in the next stage after beating FC Zurich 1-0 at home in Group A but thanks to Ludogorets 0-0 draw with AEK Larnaca the Swiss side also progressed.

Dinamo Zagreb beat Spartak Trnava 3-1 to qualify from Group D while Anderlecht, UEFA Cup winners in 1983, were eliminated after their 2-0 defeat by Fenerbahce in the same group.

Sevilla, the most successful team in the history of the competition with five titles, went down to 10-men at Akhisarspor but came away with a 3-2 win in Group J thanks to a late Ever Banega penalty that ended the Turkish side's qualifying hopes.

There was a goalfest in Russia as Spartak Moscow came from 3-2 behind to lead Rangers 4-3 in two minutes before the hour mark with the home side's eventual win taking them to second place and level with their opponents on five points in Group G.

Rangers' domestic rivals Celtic kept their hopes alive with a 2-1 win over RB Leipzig in Group B, while AC Milan and Real Betis took a step towards qualifying with a 1-1 draw in Group F.&nbsp;

Europa League: Arsenal and Chelsea through to Europa last 32, Marseille out

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck was taken to hospital after suffering a "serious injury" in their Europa League draw against Sporting on Thursday, the club's manager Unai Emery said.

Welbeck, who was earlier named in the England squad, jumped for a header in front of goal at the Emirates Stadium and rolled over in pain after landing awkwardly on his ankle.

He was given oxygen by medical staff before being taken off on a stretcher to a standing ovation from the home fans.

"It's the worst news. We think it's a serious injury," Emery told reporters, adding that Welbeck, 27, had been taken to hospital with the club waiting to hear more on his condition.

"His injury is very big for him, for us and for all," Emery said, when asked about Welbeck's prospects at the north London club in view of the fact that his contract ends this season.

Arsenal qualified for the Europa League knockout stage after the match against Sporting ended in a 0-0 draw.

England manager Gareth Southgate included Welbeck in his squad for next Thursday's friendly with the United States and a Nations League tie against Croatia three days later at Wembley.

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil took to Twitter soon after the incident to wish his team mate well, saying: "Oh no ... get well soon Danny".

Danny Welbeck taken to hospital with 'serious injury'

England striker Danny Welbeck says he has emerged mentally stronger after a knee injury ruled him out of the 2016 European Championships and the 27-year-old is keen to make an impact in next month's World Cup in Russia.

Welbeck was sidelined for eight months after undergoing surgery for the knee problem but the Arsenal forward has since forced his way back into England manager Gareth Southgate's plans.

"Missing out on the last tournament with injury was frustrating for me," Welbeck told British media.

"If you get a big injury, it is not easy at all to deal with it. It's a lonely period when you're not out on the pitch helping your teammates and doing what you love doing.

"You can develop mentally when you're away from the pitch. You can take all that frustration, pain and hurt from not playing and try and use that as a way of helping you and reminding you of what you are missing out on."

Welbeck has 15 international goals in 37 matches, the most for any player in the squad bound for Russia and three more than first choice striker Harry Kane, and will look to add to his tally when England take on Nigeria in a friendly on Saturday.

"I haven't pointed that out to the manager, he knows all the ins and outs but that is something I want to build on," Welbeck added ahead of the match at Wembley. "I have had a lot of success on the international stage and I want that to continue."

England open their World Cup campaign with a Group G encounter against Tunisia in Volgograd on June 18, before taking on Panama in Nizhny Novgorod on June 24 and finally Belgium in Kaliningrad four days later.
