Tariq Lamptey ripped Newcastle to shreds as Brighton opened their Premier League account with a comfortable victory at Newcastle.

The 19-year-old wing-back left the Magpies in disarray as Graham Potter’s men raced into a 2-0 lead at St James’ Park courtesy of Neal Maupay’s double inside the opening seven minutes before Aaron Connolly wrapped up a comprehensive 3-0 win despite Yves Bissouma’s late dismissal.
