In the upper part of the Premier League standings, Brighton was keen to win against Southampton, during this 13th day of the English Championship, in order to temporarily overtake Manchester City. Opposed to the bottom of the ranking, the Seagulls nevertheless failed to make the difference in front of their audience, although everything started well with Mitoma’s opening score in the first period (1-0, 29th).
But after the break, Brighton fell asleep and Downes was able to equalize straight away (1-1, 59th). The Saints even thought they could take the advantage, but the VAR canceled Archer’s goal for an offside position (67th). Brighton misses itself, therefore, but temporarily takes third place in the ranking, before a trip to Fulham. For their part, the Saints remain last before receiving Chelsea the next day.
