 Brighton and Hove Albion 3 - 3 Brentford Brighton and Brentford played out one of the games of the season as both clubs chase European qualification.  Brighton settled into an early rhythm, keeping the ball well, and looking to get Solly March and Mitoma involved from wide areas. The returning Jansson was stepping out of defence to shadow Argentina’s World Cup winner, Mac Allister, wherever he went. That left space in the right centre-back position which Brighton tried to exploit. A brilliant Pinnock challenge was the only thing that stopped Mitoma from opening the scoring on six minutes - the Japanese winger racing down that channel and in on goal from Moises Caicedo’s through ball. From the resulting corner, Mathias Jensen got his body in the way of March’s close-range effort.Joel Veltman had Brighton’s next opening, again from a corner, before Brentford took the lead with their first real foray forward. After sending everyone up for a long throw, Jensen went short befo...

The Brentford matchwinner Bryan Mbeumo...

Wissa swiftly connected with Bryan Mbeumo 's pass, beautifully curling in the opening goal from the box's edge just 24 minutes into the match. Before the half-time whistle, the DR Congo striker seized another opportunity, reacting fastest to a loose ball following Luton's failure to clear Mbeumo's low cross. Ethan Pinnock, back in the starting lineup after a hiatus since February, nodded in a Sergio Reguilon corner in the 62nd minute, firmly placing Brentford in control. Premier League news and stories: 2023/2024  Luton appeared disheartened and short on ideas, highlighted when Keane Lewis-Potter found space at the far post to head in Mbeumo's cross two minutes later, followed by Kevin Schade wrapping up the visitor's scoring.
