Newcastle winger Ryan Fraser admits the spirit is at rock bottom after their 3-0 defeat to Brighton.

The result leaves Toon just two points above the dropzone.

Fraser said, “The mood is the lowest it's been. We just weren't good enough. It was a must-win game after doing alright in the last couple of weeks. It didn't happen for us tonight.

“We'll have to look back on the game and see where we went wrong. Conceding just before half-time after the injury was a low blow. The second goal was identical to their first. It was a little bit too easy, we can't let that happen again.

“We need to save our season now. We want to try and work on how we're going to stay in the league. We're not in the bottom three yet and we've still got games remaining. If we go and win our next game it looks rosy again. We've still got to play Fulham too."
