What they're saying

"
Brilliant saves from Bart Verbruggen denied Jack Rudoni and Frank Onyeka on the volley, while Jack Rudoni also hit the side-netting. The hosts looked to get on the front foot in the second half too, but Malick Yalcouye's goal to double Brighton's lead, quickly followed by Taiwo Awoniyi's sending-off, was enough to sap the energy from the newly promoted side.
