"Diego Gomez stole the show as he scored four goals in Brighton's 6-0 rout of Barnsley in the EFL Cup third round. Brighton booked their place in the fourth round in emphatic fashion on Tuesday, with Gomez at the heart of a sensational display at Oakwell. The former Inter Miami midfielder scored two stunning goals in the process of completing a first-half hat-trick, which was sealed with an acrobatic, long-distance volley."
"Gomez's second goal was an arrowed finish, lashed beyond Barnsley's goalkeeper from the edge of the box, and he made it 4-0 in the 68th minute with a crisp effort from inside the area. With the damage well and truly done, Fabian Hurzeler's team added further gloss late on - substitutes Harry Howell and Yasin Ayari getting in on the act."
