Gómez wonder-strike fires Brighton to second as Brentford reduced to 10 men
Brighton beat Brentford 2-0 at the Amex to climb into second place in the Premier League, with Diego Gómez once again the star of the show.
The Argus reports that Gómez scored a superb goal that deserved more attention than the refereeing talking points that followed, and says the win lifts Brighton above Manchester City into second (The Argus). Sky Sports describes the Paraguayan's effort as a "thunderbolt" and confirms Pascal Gross added the second as the Seagulls head into the November international break in second spot, with Brentford finishing the game with ten men (Sky Sports).
The Guardian backs this up, saying Gómez "does it again" with another fine goal, while Gross converted a penalty - the two goals coming either side of Igor Thiago's red card for Brentford (The Guardian). All three outlets agree on the key framework: a Gómez wonder-goal, a Gross penalty, a Brentford red card, and Brighton moving above Manchester City into second.
SussexWorld's player ratings piece from the Amex, played on Remembrance Sunday, hands out a 9/10 to the "midfield ace" for doing it again, reflecting the same glowing verdict on Gómez's display found across the other reports, under the headline nod to his "hammer foot" strike being "a belter" (SussexWorld).
Between them, the four reports paint a clear picture for Brighton fans: another eye-catching goal from Diego Gómez, support from Pascal Gross's penalty, a one-man advantage for Fabian Hürzeler's side for a large part of the match, and a result that sends Brighton second in the table heading into the break.
