They went ahead through Marcus Tavernier's 32nd-minute penalty, which was awarded when Amine Adli went down under Bart Verbruggen's challenge. Adli - starting in Semenyo's place - was initially booked for simulation, but referee Paul Tierney overturned that decision following a VAR review, to the fury of Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler. Brighton, who had earlier seen Jack Hinshelwood go close on two occasions, dominated possession in the second half but looked destined for defeat.

Barcelona could only salvage a 3-3 draw against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League last night as their matchday 4 game went completely away from plan and was unexpectedly tight. The Belgian side gave Barcelona a tough fight and developed a plan that saw them exploit the Catalans' defence. They went ahead thrice on the night and deserved the win more than Barcelona. Hansi Flick's side, however, fought and found the equaliser all three times but never went ahead. In fact, they were lucky to take away even a point for a late error by Wojciech Szczesny actually handed Club Brugge the win until VAR intervened and handed Barcelona a boost.

Deep into first half stoppage time, Brentford had scored a second goal through Igor Thiago, but it was later ruled out for offside. Because of SAOT not being available at the time, the check took longer than usual, as lines had to be drawn by the video assistant referee, as used in previous seasons. Despite the lack of SAOT, the correct decision of offside was still reached.
