Lovely goal for Brighton. Nicely worked and a well placed finish.
They haven't had many shots, but they're making them all count.

 

I still fancy Villa to get something out of this tbh.

 

Wouldn't surprise me. They're playing pretty well, but a couple of defensive lapses have cost them.
Might need to make a change to get their better players into it more, though. Not sure Traore was the right sub for Barkley.

 

Brighton's defending has been tight, apart from the goal (which was from a set piece). Good result for them if they can hold on.

 

They've swarmed Grealish and without Barkley Villa have looked short of inspiration.

 

Looks harsh, that

 

Especially on the ballboy.

Penalty?

 

Dive imo

 

Not a pen in my mind

Keown is ****ing thick

 

This is dogshit

 

He kicks him. Fairly soft, but he'll give it.

 

Keown doesn’t know football!!

 

Shut the **** up keown. You’re embarrassing yourself

 

He's overturned it! No consistency, at all. Oliver is going to get it in the post-match interviews.

 

no booking? wtf

 

I don;t see how it's a foul even if he does touch him as he touches the ball first.

 

He barely touches him either. Keown is promoting, get touched - go down!

 

****ing terrible last 5 minutes from him



Brighton deserved all three points imo.

 

I like that Oliver over turned his decision. That’s what VAR should be.

 

Doesn't matter. He wins the ball and follows through into the man when he's still got possession.
There'll be loads of bullshit about it now and VAR will get slagged off, but it's down to Oliver.
He made all of the decisions, not the technology.
