Thanks for joining us for this coverage. Round 3 of the Carabao Cup continues tomorrow so be sure to join us. Until then, this is Sanil Karan signing off.
Brighton's comprehensive victory was a testament to their strong performance across both halves. The win takes them to Round 3 and highlights their capability to handle pressure and exploit opponents' weaknesses. They will now turn their attention to Arsenal this weekend in what will be a more stern test than this. For Crawley, the match served as a learning experience, with areas for improvement clearly evident as they look to regroup and refocus for their upcoming fixtures.
Crawley had their share of opportunities, including a disallowed goal and several set-pieces, but struggled to capitalize on their chances. Brighton's defensive organization was impressive, with crucial clearances and saves from Verbruggen ensuring that Crawley’s attempts were kept at bay. Webster's goal off a corner and O'Mahony's clinical finish after dispossessing Flint demonstrated Brighton's ability to capitalize on defensive errors. The game saw Brighton maintain their composure throughout, with the team managing the game effectively after each of their goals.
In a dominant performance at the Amex Stadium, Brighton secured a convincing victory over Crawley Town. The match saw Brighton take control early on, with Adingra's decisive goal giving them the lead against the run of play. Despite Crawley's spirited efforts and several moments of pressure, Brighton's resilience and attacking prowess proved too much for their opponents. The Seagulls managed to extend their advantage in the second half, with Sarmiento adding a second goal that showcased his composure in front of goal.
