World News – UK – Brighton & Hove Albion v Southampton: A look at Premier League history

Brighton & Hove Albion entertains Southampton at AMEX Stadium on Monday night. The Seagulls are in their best shape of the season, having lost just once in their last six games, while the Saints soar in sixth place in the Premier League.

This game wasn’t particularly friendly to Brighton as the Seagulls have never beaten Southampton in six top matches of all time. With the men of Graham Potter hoping the seventh time is lucky, here’s a look back at their first half-dozen competitions.

In their top division game since 1983 and their first meeting in a league game in nearly six years, Southampton took the lead seven minutes ahead of Steven Davis when he was the quickest to react to James Ward-Prowse’s free kick from the corner of the Post and pole to bring the saints before them.

Brighton grew into the game and in 35. Dusan Tadic shot just wide of the goal before Anthony Knockaert nearly converted Jose Izquierdo’s ball and then pocketed one at Shane Duffy, who could only get over.

Brighton almost equalized after a Duffy header until Glenn Murray reached 52. Minute for his third goal in the last two games, the cross from Pascal Gross nodded. The result was that each side moved up one point in the table as the seagulls moved to the 11th. The Saints advanced to the 9th place. Advanced place.

Both teams wanted to increase their chances of survival with a decisive victory when they were in St. . Mary’s and Brighton had a goal in their sights just 27 seconds into the competition when Izquierdo shot past.

In the 14th. In the minute, Solly March was overthrown by Wesley Hoedt, who stuck the Seagulls midfielder in the leg. Murray stepped forward and shot the penalty past Alex McCarthy, his ninth goal of the season.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg almost equalized when he nodded to Mat Ryan, the Seagulls keeper, but he could only hit the crossbar. The Saints passed Ryan 64 minutes after Ward-Prowse’s free-kick, who scored the winning goal in an FA Cup draw with Watford last weekend.

The result extended Southampton’s winless run to 12 games, the longest in the top division, and kept it at 18. Place in the relegation zone, while Brighton moved up to 15th place. Place advanced.

Mark Hughes, who met for football on Monday night, was in charge of the game for the first time since Claude Puel was fired just six months ago.

The Saints had the first chance in the 22nd. Minute when Hojbjerg headed a deep cross that eventually found its way to Danny Ings, who saw his shot blocked. Hojbjerg then went wide after standing up to hit a Nathan Redmond cross.

The hosts opened the classification with a ten minute lead in the first half. Lewis Dunk cleared a Mohamed Eloynoussi cross but the ball fell to Hojbjerg, who defeated Ryan from 35 yards to give Southampton a 1-0 lead.

Brighton came out of the traps more aggressively in the second half when Knockaert forced McCarthy to make a good save before March went out with the rebound. In the 64. In the minute, the seagulls fell 2-0.

Gaetan Bong took Ings into the penalty area from behind and pushed himself home in the lower left corner. Brighton reacted immediately when Shane Duffy went home after a Knockaert free kick to cut the lead in half.

The guests continued to press for an equalization, McCarthy warned in the 90. Minute to prevent Jurgen Locadia’s attempt, but Ward-Prowse pushed Duffy and Murray coolly sent his penalty in the middle and scored in a third game in a row against Southampton.

Deep in a relegation battle and with their third manager in the game, with Ralph Hasenhuttl replacing Hughes, the Saints came to AMEX just two points from falling. There were few chances in the first half. Stuart Armstrong’s half-volley was blocked by Bernardo six minutes before half-time.

Two minutes later Knockaert sent a cross that found its way to Murray, but he shot his header over the bar. Ings switched on Redmond, who hit his low shot wide as the half ended.

It was a moment of magic and an excellent builder from Southampton in 53rd. Minute that led to the eventual match winner. Armstrong’s release found Redmond, and he founded Hojbjerg, which passed Ryan.

Brighton had a chance to end the proceedings. Martin Montoya shot one off the bar, while Davy Propper, at his mercy, was off the net. Southampton held on and their third win in four games that sent Huddersfield Town down and resulted in their own eventual survival.

Potter had succeeded Chris Hughton at the time, after Brighton stuttered at 15th place last season. Finished, but his tenure at Seagulls got off to a bad start.

Although the hosts were the better team for much of the first half, they were reduced to 10 when Florin Andone showed a red card for a ruthlessly high challenge against Yan Valery. Eight minutes later, Dunk appeared to be leading Brighton to the top, only VAR Dan Burn reigning offside.

Locadia threw a shot off the post and the gulls’ waste would return to haunt them when substitute Moussa Djenepo came in at 55. Minute, a right foot shot rolled past Ryan and Redmond made sure that all three points were on St. . Mary went home after a shot from Sofiane Boufal.

When Brighton got into the game, it only took one win to secure a fourth straight season in the Premier League. They seemed to be on their way when Neal Maupay took advantage of Southampton’s poor defense to give the Gulls the lead after 17 minutes with his 10th. Goal of the season.

After a double change at halftime by Hasenhuttl, the Saints showed up on another page and Ings’ 20-yard curlers were just inches from leveling, which was only contested from the inside of the post. window. gie = window. gie || Function (c) {(gie. q = gie. q || []). push (c)}; gie (function () {gie.

After a perfect pass from Redmond, he found 66. Minute, the net ended, coming home after a slip by Tariq Lamptey to become Southampton’s first 20-top top scorer since James Beattie in 2003.

Both teams had the sight of a victory when Ryan saved from Jannik Vestergaard with the tip of his finger and the substitute Yves Bissouma shot the visitors from 10 meters. Brighton would secure its Premier League status the following week.
