I didn't expect that the first half would end with a score of 3-0, Brighton's back line defense was not what it used to be, it was very vulnerable and really easy for the opponent to penetrate. Aston Villa enjoyed each of their quick goals with full ambition. I never expected a game like this from Brighton but for their performance in the first half they clearly deserved it. Ollie Watkins was the hero in this match, and the third goal is difficult to say.
Second half can Brighton reverse it? At a minimum, they have to reduce their lag.
Ollie Watkins got himself a double after a delicate finishing situation. Brighton is losing themselves by constantly failing passes and fouling Aston Villa players. Defender Estupinan fumbled and scored an own goal after Diaby's not-so-dangerous shot. The score is 3-0 in favor of the home team. I couldn't believe my eyes anymore. The first half ended surprisingly. Brighton is really sleeping. What will they do in the second half to deal with this consequence?
