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.
Brighton was able to reduce their deficit by scoring a goal in the 50th minute by A.Fati. But unfortunately Aston Villa were able to increase their lead again in the 65th minute, so the current score is 4-1.
I think this match was really unexpected. Because I didn't expect there to be such a clear difference in strength in this match. Aston Villa seems to be able to make attacks with very good accuracy. And Brighton's defense was terrible this time. I think it is certain that Aston Villa will get 3 points.
Amazingly Aston villa played with a high line making Brighton look as if they didn't play with their boots on in the match.
Brighton has to step up their defense in their next game to avoid such humiliating defeating from reoccurring because it's convincing enough from today's scoreline of 6:1 that Roberto De Zerbi needs to tighten some loosing ends.
Brighton didn't do anything spectacular in this game it was like their form was stolen by the 1:0 defeat from Chelsea in the Caroaba Cup and Villa just decided to bury it today.
