[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***

[Uh_huh_him]

first on MOTD tonight?

 

[Marxo]

It's a fact, this weekend is good!

 

[rogersix]

LOL

Amazing.

The worst game we've played this season probably, and we've only gone and won it!

the pedigree of champions!

 

[hoof hearted]

BBC Final Score saying Brighton have been brilliant. I'll take that!

It was like a different team when Trossard came on.

 

[Triggaaar]

LOL

Amazing.

We've been so so unlucky this season. We've been so so LUCKY today! Shows how it all levels itself out.

Agree that we played poorly. Were we really that lucky? Was the penalty decision wrong?

Of course the winner was an own goal, but if he hadn't touched it we'd have scored, and Everton's first was a lucky own goal.

 

[Weststander]

Pickford seemed dodgy throughout.

Certainly no Banks or Shilton.

Loved it how Keane’s game fell apart once Trossard & co got amongst and behind him.

 

[hoof hearted]

And Ben White was man of the match for Leeds,

 

[Frutos]

I remember watching us play Derby in the pissing rain at Withdean (when Fabrizio Ravanelli was playing for them), and we nicked it right at the death with a goal from Kerry Mayo.

I'd imagine the feeling then of not caring how wet we were was shared by those at the Amex - well, those near the front anyway - when the winner went in today.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Yer - I think the footballing Gods owed us that one. A thoroughly undeserved win. Lovin it!

 

[FloatLeft]

One for Ernest!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Hell of a game today Gents

Did you go to the fanzone out in Austin?

Lots of Brighton shirts there.

 

[Bodian]

No matter how 'poorly' we played compared to some of our other games - the thing with us now is that I never feel we're out of it. That is such a huge difference from the last two seasons.

Proper game, proper conditions.

Mind you - how many times did Richarlison kick/throw the ball away without getting booked?

I also very much like the way we just play on when they're rolling around in 'agony' - I notice Walcott got up pretty quickly once he realised play wasn't going to stop - and so did one of their defenders towards the end.

 

[Weststander]

Agree that we played poorly. Were we really that lucky? Was the penalty decision wrong?

Of course the winner was an own goal, but if he hadn't touched it we'd have scored, and Everton's first was a lucky own goal.

3-2 was completely fair according to the rules. It was just insane to play so badly, score three and win.

Sometimes you have to get ugly results

Sometimes you have to get wrong decisions given your way, which may or may not be ugly.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

The penalty decision was 100 % correct. The defender clearly stood on Connolly’s boot. I’m not sure why people are saying we were lucky as apart from a few short periods Everton were very pedestrian. We had the more clear cut chances.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Penalty!


VAR is rubbish - but in our favour for once! Now let's go and get an even luckier winner!

Well, that happened - mystic meg.

 

[London Irish]

Just as our previous failure to win games wasn’t unlucky, that win wasn’t lucky. Because we’ve signed a little genius that can turn Prem games on their head. We can look at a lot of the stuff that didn’t work but crucial was our desire to win that which I’ve been looking for all season

[Bodian]

Lots of firsts, and the answers to quite a few recent threads on here.

First direct free kick we've scored in the PL (I think)
First penalty to be given by VAR that hadn't initially been given by the ref.
First injury time winner for us for ages.

What decision was wrong?
