Brighton go second after thumping ten-man Brentford 2-0
Brighton moved up to second in the Premier League after beating ten-man Brentford 2-0, with goals sealing a convincing win at the Amex.
The BBC reports that Diego Gomez's long-range strike was the standout moment, helping fire Fabian Hurzeler's side to victory after Brentford's Igor Thiago was shown a straight red card during the game (BBC Sport). The Argus agrees that Gomez's effort was another "wonder goal" from the Paraguayan, and confirms the win lifted the Seagulls into second place in the table, at least for the next two weeks (The Argus).
Pascal Gross was also among the scorers, and SussexWorld focuses on his reaction afterwards, where he played down any suggestion that Brighton are now genuine title contenders despite the eye-catching result and league position (SussexWorld).
All three outlets agree on the key facts: a 2-0 scoreline, Brentford reduced to ten men, and Brighton climbing to second in the Premier League table. The main difference is emphasis - the BBC and Argus focus on Gomez's wonder strike and the dismissal of Thiago, while SussexWorld highlights Gross's cautious, grounded comments about the club's title prospects.
For Brighton fans, it's another big statement result that keeps the impressive run going, even if Gross is keen to temper expectations. The club's next fixture of note on the women's side sees Brighton Women host Watford Women on Wednesday 11 November [A].
