Brighton end winless run against Brentford
Brighton end winless run against Brentford
Brighton came up with an important answer to their recent problems with
their first win in 12 Premier League matches, boss Graham Potter has said.
The Seagulls beat Brentford 2-0 on Sunday, making light of a winless
sequence dating back to 19 September – a top-flight club record run without
victory.
Leandro Trossard’s sublime lob and Neal Maupay’s wonderful curling strike
saw Brighton move up to ninth in the table.
They had seen their promising start to the season slip away in recent
months, but are still nine points better off than at the corresponding stage
last season.
Brighton’s longstanding problems in front of goal have been evident in a
sequence containing eight draws, but this rarely looked like being one of
those frustrating occasions.
Brentford have now lost as many Premier League games this season (seven)
as they did in their entire Championship campaign last term.
