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.
Judging by the performance of Brighton and Hove Albion since the start of the season, their heavy defeat this afternoon against Aston Villa was very surprising. Very few people might have predicted such big win for Aston Villa.
Ollie Watkins was unarguably the man of the match after being directly involved in four goals in the game by scoring three goals and assisting Ramsey for Aston Villa's fifth goal of the match.
