PL: Brighton scores a victory against Sheffield United, double for African champion Simon Adingra

Brighton did not do it by half measures this Sunday. Traveling to bottom side Sheffield United as part of the 25th day of the Premier League, the Seagulls won 5-0, without ever trembling. The expulsion of Mason Holgate following a deadly tackle on Mitoma (13th) had already announced the darkness of this meeting, and it has only been confirmed.

Seven minutes later, Argentinian Facundo Buonanotte opened the scoring (0-1, 20th), before being imitated by Danny Welbeck in the process (0-2, 24th). In the second half, it was the turn of the new African champion Simon Adingra to put on the show. After Robinson’s unfortunate own goal (75th, 0-3), the Ivorian scored a double, first by receiving a cross from Gross (78th, 0-4), then on a deflected shot (85th, 0-5). In the standings, Brighton climbs to 7th position while Sheffield United remains mired in last place.
