Reaching a rare milestone, Brighton mocked Arsenal and Spurs

As a guest to Tottenham in the 33rd round of the Premier League, Brighton unexpectedly won with a score of 1-0. With a goal in the 90th minute, Leandro Trossard was the only scorer to bring the victory for The Seagulls.

Overcoming Tottenham, Brighton beat Spurs for the first time after 7 defeats as a guest of this opponent. It is worth mentioning that before defeating Tottenham, coach Graham Potter’s army excellently defeated Arsenal right at the Emirates Stadium in round 32.

According to Opta, Brighton became the second team in history to win consecutive away matches against Arsenal and Tottenham in the Premier League. Before the Falmer Stadium team, Hull City did this rare thing in October 2008.

After the victory over Tottenham, Brighton’s Twitter immediately posted a mocking message to Spurs and Arsenal, with the content: “North London is ours”. The Seagulls’ status line received many comments and shares from fans.

In addition, the fans also sent congratulatory messages to the team of coach Graham Potter because they almost succeeded in relegation. Because, with 40 points won after 32 matches and 16 points more than the group holding the red light, Brighton is considered to have completed its goal of staying in the No. 1 tournament in England.

Currently, Brighton is temporarily ranked 10th in the rankings. On April 21, they will be a guest to Man City in a round 30 match. With a very comfortable spirit thanks to winning two big rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, The Seagulls may surprise in the trip to Etihad .

More than any opponent, Liverpool is the team that hopes Brighton can stop Man City the most. Because, if that happens, The Reds may have the advantage in the championship race. Currently, Liverpool are second in the table, with only 1 point behind leaders Man City.
