I think the important point was that Aston Villa scored an early goal, and later Brighton tried to get back and spent a lot of time attacking, often forgetting about defense, and look how many goals were scored in this match on counterattacks, besides that there was an own goal and a rebound off a Brighton defender. Let's just say it was a bad day for Brighton.
Yeah that's right, the early goal disrupted the Brighton players' concentration in 13 minutes Aston Villa was able to score 3 goals in the first half and the problem continued until 5 minutes before the end of the match, overall Brighton played badly but we know that was the impact of the first half. After all, Aston Villa is on fire especially when playing at home so their self-confidence increases and can take advantage of the moment. Anyway, this week we saw a lot of surprises from the top teams and we don't know if this is just a coincidence.
