Villa v Brighton

[St Eve]

Brighton 1 up. We really need Villa to win

[gang]

Villa equalise, 1-1

[St Eve]

2-1 Brighton

[Statto]

Agree a Villa win would have been the preferred the result but actually, with 30 games still to go I can see these two teams finishing quite close to each other anyway... neither will finish in the top half but both have enough to stay out of the bottom 4... IMO

[WindyCity]

Yep, we need a Villa win or draw.  That said, BHA is a very good side.  I think they are better than their record currently shows.  They've had some real tough results against good competition, and should have come away with more than they did in several games.  Very good side, imo.

Brighton are tough to break down. Wellbeck still has quality. We should have taken him as an option to Mitro

Penalty Villa

[St Eve]

VAR overturned

[WindyCity]

VAR overturned

Probably the correct decision, after seeing the replay.  Didn't look a penalty.

[Jules]

Agree, correct decision. He played for it/dived

[Gezza]

Still don't understand why that wasn't a penalty !

[KJS]

Clearly got the ball 1st no penalty was correct call

Good player but extremely injury prone

Bet if it had been Harry Kane that had been kicked it wouldn't have been overturned.

Brighton begining to look like a solid team and we now need a win to avoid being cast adrift in a relegation bunch.

[Sgt Fulham]

Calling Brighton a very good side is slightly overstating it. They are a good side like every other team in the Premier League, but relative to the other teams they are average. I think they are a cut above the bottom 4, just like all the other teams outside of our little cohort and so I'm not sure today's result matters that much.

We are already adrift, the question is how far will the gap be come Tuesday morning?

I watched the game. Greta entertainment for the neutral. Both teams looked good but have flaws in their game. However, a bad result for Fulham and the rest of the bottom 4. Getting cut adrift.
