Brighton have only picked up one point from their opening two Premier League games so places in the team could well be up for grabs.

And while this was a fully changed team from their defeat by Everton, most of their XI were players who feature in the league – and then there were the youngsters who shone from the bench.

Boscagli struck the opener on his debut following his summer free transfer move from PSV Eindhoven. Gruda and Gomez have both scored for Fabian Hurzeler's team in the Premier League.

And then on came two 19-year-old signings - £20m Tzimas and £10m Watson – and £30m 18-year-old Charalampos Kostoulas.

Tzimas netted twice and set up Watson for number six.

Will some feature on Sunday against Manchester City? You have to imagine so.

Oxford have also started their league season poorly and are one of three EFL teams on zero points.

Their defending and their finishing were equally shocking here – they actually had more shots on target than Brighton managed.

Steele's 10 saves were the most any goalkeeper has had to make in a Carabao Cup tie since February 2024 - but most of those stops were routine.

Whether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.

What did you make of Brighton's display?

Eight changes for Oxford from the side who lost 1-0 to Birmingham.

Summer signings Nik Prelec and Luke Harris are on the bench and could come on for debuts.

Oxford XI: Ingram, Long, Moore, Spencer, Currie, Vaulks, Brannagan, Phillips, Placheta, Mills, M Harris.

Subs: Bradshaw, Cumming, De Keersmaecker, Goodrham, Harris, Prelec, Sibley, Snowden, Ter Avest.

Brighton change the entire team who lost 2-0 to Everton.

There are debuts for summer signing defenders Olivier Boscagli and Diego Coppola, and a first start for 17-year-old Harry Howell.

Brighton XI: Steele, Julio, Gruda, Hinshelwood, Milner, Boscagli, Kadioglu, Gomez, Veltman, Coppola, Howell.

Subs: Kostoulas, Lamptey, McGill, O'Riley, Baleba, Simmonds, Tasker, Tzimas, Watson.

What an impressive individual Diego Coppola is at just 21 years of age.

He talks well and is quite charming actually. Very softly spoken but, having seen him on the pitch, there are probably two sides to his personality.

A soft, warm figure when you chat to him, but when you see him on the pitch he is wholehearted and physical. As he said in his interview with me - 'I want the striker to know, I want them to feel me right behind'.

Whether he will be able to do that in the UK we will have to wait and see but he really spoke well and will be itching to get his opportunity.

Knowing where you are is important. Everybody is of a similar age at Brighton. He is 21, Lewis Dunk and Danny Welbeck are older, but the large majority are younger players and he knows he is not going to have to rush. He knows the club will give him time and knows the club will give him opportunities.

That is quite important, knowing where you fit into things, but also just trying to impress every training session. I felt he articulated that very well.

He is not just expecting to just come straight in. He's not just thinking 'I'm an Italy international and I should be coming straight into this side at Brighton', he is more 'no, I have just come into a new club in a new county and I've just got to work hard and deserve to be in the starting XI'.
