Returning from the locker room, despite the domination of Postecoglou’s men, Pervis Estupiñan, for his return to competition after a long injury, sent a superb shot into the goals of Guglielmo Vicario (3-0, 63rd). The Brazilian striker, author of the break, even scored a double from 11 meters on a second wrong-footed penalty (4-0, 76th). The visitors thought for a time of getting back into the match with the point-blank strike from Alejo Veliz (4-1, 81st), for his first goal in PL, and the header from Ben Davies (4-2, 85th). This victory allows Brighton to move back to 6 points in the standings of their evening opponent, who misses the opportunity to climb into the top 4.
