Very incorrect, Dear Friend

I don't know how it works, but is the Pedro penalty classed as 'missed' ?

Came up as a missed penalty and then accredited with a normal goal on the app I use

Never doubted it, De Zerbi in.

Any previous posts that might have expressed any doubt were clearly the work of hackers stealing my login.

Best attitude I’ve seen from the players on the pitch for ages. Great commitment, they really wanted that

Good performance. Lots of passion & hard work today. We were the better side against a tired and depleted Villa side and I would say we deserved the win.

Teams know how to defend against us though, and Villa were mostly doing it well. We need to work out how to break down this strategy next season, or else it will be another frustrating season.

A bit of luck with the penalty, countered the bit of bad luck having Gross toenail ruling his goal offside, but we had a couple of clearcut chances that perhaps could have been finished better, but credit to the keeper too.

Delighted to win and end the streak of dismal form. Priority for the rest of the season should probably still be finishing as high as possible, rather than blooding youngsters.

Kneecap this time!

Yes. The penalty was missed - he then scored in 'open play'.

He wasn't.

Sorry I bow to your wisdom

But he was

Don't you just love to see loads of pissed off brummies! Well done Albion!

VAR decision. Can't actually see if the blue line was drawn from the ball - which isn't in shot.

VAR denies Gross from giving Brighton lead against Villa

Pascal Gross strayed offside in his attempt to give Brighton the lead against Aston Villa.

Through to the next round here lads, no excuses. Just setting off to the game. UTA!!

Great 3 points and a performance to go with it, happy Roberto, happy team. Great win!!

 

[Flounce]

Fanbloodytastic, the game I most wanted us to win and I love Barco and Enciso btw. We had some luck too..at last

I missed why RDZ got booked, what was it for?

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Lovely. All's right with the world. A win is always good. A long awaited win even better. A long awaited win against that shower of shithousery is golden.

7 points clear of the Nigels, who need a near perfect return to overhaul us now.

Also great to see the players properly scrapping. I had feared that a clean sweep of defeats to the end of the season might be enough to see RDZ out the door but that little victory should put a tiger in the team's tank.

Happiness abounds.

Golden showers?

Thought Webster was excellent today. Tight on Watkins and had his passing boots on. Maybe he's a keeper. (That's a keeper - not a 'keeper)

We had 15 shots with 8 on target. We had a goal disallowed and the keeper made a couple of top saves. Our xG was 2.47. I would say we ripped them a new one rather than them defending well.

I still have my doubts about that from the screen shots before they drew the line which had Gross well offside

Agreed, he had a great game

Brighton have lost the past five Premier League meetings by an aggregate score of 14-3.

If ever there would be the time to grind out a gritty 1-0 win, this is it.
