    Ivan Toney is hobbling. Oh oh. He is playing on though.

    Danny Welbeck almost gets his head on the end of a cross and then Alexis Mac Allister has a shot blocked. Quick start for Brighton.

    Brighton have only won one of the 38 Premier League away matches in which they have trailed at half-time (D9 L28), beating Burnley 2-1 in August 2021.

  12. Glentoran lead Linfield 1-0 in Northern Ireland's Premiership.

    That rivalry is called 'The Big Two'. Straightforward branding to be fair.

    Watch it here on the BBC website.

  15. Brentford 1-0 Brighton

    Oh you meant about this game?

    Ivan Toney's goal was his 50th for Brentford in the league.

  16. You: Could I please have a random fact?

    Me: Jonathan David has just become the joint top-scoring Canadian player in Europe's top five leagues with a goal for Lille at Strasbourg. He joins ex-Everton and Fulham striker Tomasz Radzinski on 36 goals.

    Anon: England need an Ivan Toney up front. All the opposition teams know how the team has played over the last 4 years, need to mix up up and create the unexpected. But can the other players (midfield and wingers) deliver the quality passes required?

    Ivan Toney 1-0 Brighton at half-time.

    Another yellow card with Joel Veltman involved again. This time Mathias Jensen shoves the Brighton player and gets booked.
