Newcastle 4-6 for title after rocking Brighton
Newcastle's odds have been slashed by bookmakers to win the title after their dramatic 2-1 victory at Brighton put them top of the Sky Bet Championship.
Late strikes from Mohamed Diame and Ayoze Perez, cancelled out Glenn Murray’s first-half penalty to put the Geordies two points clear and they are 4-6 with Betfair to finish as champions.
The Magpies will be tested again on Saturday when they travel to promotion rivals Huddersfield. Brighton are at Nottingham Forest and will be determined to regain top spot if Newcastle drop points.
There’s still hope for the Seagulls, who are 2-1 with bet365 to win the title, but third-placed Huddersfield still have an outside chance to make a late surge at 14-1.
