Beram Kayal scores winner as Brighton claim first away win
Israeli midfielder deflected home the only goal of the game to clinch a 1-0 win at Newcastle
Beram Kayal scored his first club goal of the season as Brighton came away from Newcastle United on Saturday with a 1-0 win.
Believing the Seagulls deserved the three points, the midfielder said: “It’s a massive three points and we deserved it.
“Sometimes you win games in a different way and the way we won was everyone put in more than 100 percent, put his body on the line. Everyone.”
Delighted to come away from St James’ Park with the win, which makes it two wins on the trot, he added: “A first away win this season and at this place, which we know is a tough place. We knew they would press us hard because they needed the points but we planned the game very well and at the end of the day, we deserved the three points.”
Also confirming it was definitely his strike, with him diverting José Izquierdo’s goal-bound shot past the home goalkeeper, he said: “I said to him, ‘Brother – it’s mine, you get the assist’. But we were joking about that.”
Elsewhere, Kayal’s compatriot Tomer Hemed, who is on loan at Championship side QPR from Brighton, scored his second goal of the season for The Hoops, scoring from the penalty spot in its 2-0 win at Ipswich Town.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
