Brighton just keeping getting better and better. Finishing sixth in the Premier League, while selling their best players, usually to Chelsea, does not seem to put any limit on their upward trajectory. Their fans were left singing “We are top of the league” as three goals inside the first 10 minutes of the second half enabled this free-flowing side to embellish their standing.
Solly March scored two of these, following a close-range finish from Pervis Estupiñán and, in the first half, a memorable solo effort from Kaoru Mitoma. Since Roberto De Zerbi was appointed last October, only Manchester City and Liverpool can match the 69 goals Brighton have scored in their 34 Premier League games.
