Brighton's Yankuba Minteh scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Chelsea, enhancing the team's hopes for European football next season. Following a recent FA Cup triumph against the same opponent, this win marked their first home league victory in six attempts. Minteh's performance was particularly impressive, with a notable xG of 0.39, and he created multiple scoring chances. His success reflects a revitalized Brighton asserting themselves in the Premier League following a tough defeat to Nottingham Forest, with manager Fabian Hurzeler praising the team's character in overcoming setbacks.
"I think the compactness of the team was good, and the team always communicated with me and pushed me," Minteh told Sky Sports.
"Yes. We are dreaming [of European football]." This statement reflects the optimism surrounding Brighton's recent success and future aspirations.
