NEWCASTLE STAGED A late comeback to win out 2-1 in last night’s Championship top-of-the-table clash with Brighton.
Rafa Benitez’s side had fallen behind to a Glenn Murray penalty when Mohamed Diame scored a bit of a freak goal before Ayoze Perez’s 89th-minute winner.
Chstian Atsu’s volley was heading well wide when Daryl Murphy got a slight touch and the ball looped into the net off the foot of Senegalese midfielder Diame.
If you missed it Diame did this madness for Newcastle last night. Wasn't even looking at the goal. pic.twitter.com/L6GehaiP3i

Definitely a fluke, but they all count. With tongue-in-cheek, Diame tweeted afterwards:
Whoops!
