Yankuba Minteh scored against his former team despite never playing an official match for Newcastle United. He found the net right before halftime, bringing Brighton level during their FA Cup fifth round meeting. Earlier in the game, Minteh committed a foul that led to a penalty kick, which Alexander Isak successfully converted at the 22-minute mark to put Newcastle ahead.

The talented Gambian winger moved from Newcastle to Brighton during the transfer season for approximately $30 million because of Newcastle's financial fair play concerns. The goal against his former club might increase Newcastle's regrets about letting him leave. His brilliant equalizer showcased exactly why Brighton paid such a significant amount for his services.

The transfer deal between the clubs happened mainly because Newcastle needed to balance their books for Premier League spending rules. Fans at St James' Park probably feel frustrated watching Minteh perform well against them after the club sold him without giving him a chance on their first team. His impressive goal demonstrated skills that Newcastle supporters never had the opportunity to witness firsthand.
