Indeed Brighton and Hove Albion's heavy defeat away to Aston Villa was a very interesting and entertaining match to watch. Brighton before the game bad were better than the host in terms of overall performance in the English Premier League since the start of the season as they had already won 5 and most just one of their first 6 league games of the season while Aston Villa had won four and lost two league games before the game. So many had expected the match to be a very difficult one for Aston Villa but instead they made the game look very easy from the first half of the game.
Ollie Watkins was just on fire in that game as he scored three goals and had one assist against Brighton.
The Brighton team was in a good rhythm after a three-match winning streak. And so it was unexpected that Brighton would lose this match. I expected the match to be competitive. And one team will win narrowly. But the scenario has been completely changed by the players of Aston Villa. Aston Villa showed dominance from the first minute of the match. And the team took a 3-0 lead in just 26 minutes of the first half. Brighton made several attacks but they could not put up any resistance against Aston Villa. Aston Villa showed great dominance in the second half like the first half. They also scored three goals in the second half. Brighton conceded a humiliating 6-1 defeat.
Obviously this was a shocking and embarrassing defeat for Bighton, the match ended with a score of 6 - 1 and the victory was on the side of Aston Villa. Honestly, I was also quite surprised to see this final score, because as we know Brighton is a team that can usually always be a big threat to clubs that have strong performances such as Manchester City, but strangely well they look weak when faced with teams that have equal strength or even much weaker than them.
In this match Aston Villa was truly extraordinary, as you said in the first half alone this team was able to excel 3 - 0 from Brighton, there was really no significant resistance from Brighton, honestly I don't know what happened to them, and I think maybe they had difficulty building cohesiveness on the field and were also too careless so Aston Villa could easily create many successful opportunities, honestly I was very impressed with Ollie Watkins' performance there, he successfully created three goals and contributed very well to his squad's victory.
I don't think the Brighton team is weak at all. This team is strong and has the ability to perform well against big teams . This season too, the team won the away match against manchester united 3–1, beating Newcastle 3–1 . But the problem is that their performance is very erratic. This team is capable of playing well, but cannot maintain consistency. Players need to be more confident. If the players are confident then maybe we will see consistency in their performance. .
We have to admit that Aston Villa played brilliantly in this match. Their performance was mesmerizing. The team won the last match. And Chelsea also beat Aston Villa. The team is now at the fifth place in the points table after getting 16 points in 7 matches.
