BRIGHTON, England (Reuters) -Newcastle United escaped the Amex Stadium with a point after Alexander Isak scored a last-gasp penalty in a 1-1 Premier League draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday in a key result for their chase of Champions League qualification.

Brighton looked poised for victory after winger Yankuba Minteh struck in the first half, but Isak's 89th minute spot kick sent goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen the wrong way for his 23rd league goal of the season.
