Brighton Moves up to Second in the Premier League, Liverpool Wins and Chelsea Loses

Diego Gomez scored a long-range opener and Pascal Gross added a penalty after Igor Thiago’s red card.

  • On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Brighton defeated 10-man Brentford 2-0 at the Amex Stadium, with Diego Gomez and Pascal Gross scoring to lift the Seagulls to second in the Premier League.
  • Midfielder Gomez rifled a thunderous left-footed shot into the top corner after 15 minutes, before Gross converted a penalty kick just before half-time to seal the win.
  • Brentford striker Igor Thiago received a red card after 23 minutes for shoving Chema Andres, while referee Michael Oliver awarded a penalty for Keane Lewis-Potter's shirt pull on Luka Vuskovic.
  • Disgruntled away fans chanted "2-0 to the referee" and "Michael Oliver, it's all about you" as the depleted visitors struggled to create chances in a low-tempo second half.
  • The victory marks Brighton's seventh win in 10 top-flight games, lifting the Seagulls above Manchester City into second place while maintaining their unbeaten home record at the Amex Stadium.
