A penalty from Pascal Gross and an excellent second half strike from Danny Welbeck sealed Brighton' s three points and lifts them 10 clear of the relegation places with four to play.
Graham Potter's team have 37 points from 34 matches, while Newcastle and Burnley are both on 36 points but currently have a game in hand on Brighton.
It's difficult at this moment to see the bottom three places changing with Fulham and West Brom both needing a remarkable set of results if they are to claw their way out of trouble.
