What a fantastic night apart from injuries

 

[Durlston]

So glad we got the clean sheet as well.

When all is said and done, this is probably our best EVER victory in terms of winning away comfortably against former Champions League winners in a major European competition! Mind-blowing - just like the skunk out there I bet!!!!!

Everyone out in the 'Dam - enjoy tonight. It will be CRAZY!!!!

We've taken Ajax to the cleaners. Twice.

Wiped the floor with them

I still find it so surreal, that we're smashing Ajax at home. I used to be thrilled if we beat Plymouth, on a wet and windy Wednesday (tbh, it would still make me smile), but to see what we are capable of now is outstanding. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that we'd go and totally outplay Ajax......it's madness.
I don't really care how long this lasts, but to be here to see it happening is f***ing awesome.

Ajax seemed better and more effective in the 70s and 80s but look a bit worn out these days

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

A spotless performance

We really cleaned up!

 

[Hendrax]

We're starting to see why his Barcelona contract contains a €100mn release cause.

Isn't it 1 BILLION?

We controlled that very well. Van Hecke and Igor looked good along with Dahoud in midfield. Verbruggen also looked steady and dealt with most of the threats posed by Ajax

 

[Shooting Star]

Ven Hecke absolutely imperious. Adingra and Fati bromance. Bloody love it!!!

 

[Pavilionaire]

We made it look easy but our boys put it a hell of a shift. Tonight will bond our squad but I feel one of the big positives was Ansu Fati's goal. This guy could carry us and he's looking better with every match.

So it’s either Fati or Bennett’s Field then?

 

[deslynhamsmoustache1]

We've done the double over Ajax. That is a sentence I never thought I'd type as a Brighton fan.

Thought JPHV was superb tonight, had a big strong striker to mark and grew into the game and by the end of it certainly had his number. Real shame about the booking (not justified in my opinion) and that he'll miss AEK away.

This all day. Pedro worked hard as did Adinga. So disappointed with Mitoma as he had a great chance to score and make it 0-3. Still you cant be fantastic every game.

 

[Justice]

Big clap for captain Igor solid performance.

Isn't it 1 BILLION?

You're right.

 

[origigull]

Well . . . what can I say. Little o' Brighton beat the mighty Ajax is all I can think of . . . am I dreaming, someone pinch me . . . NO! don't I like dreaming.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Great result without playing particularly well overall. Big negative with the injuries, though.

What a GORMLESS comment

 

[Marxo]

Brighton, an European powerhouse.

 

[Sussexscots]

Just wow. Pretty emotional at that result .

 

[zefarelly]

Well . . . .That went well.

scenes . . . On a new level.

 

[Hendrax]

Are we still under the radar?
