BRIGHTON \u00a0 & \u00a0 HOVE \u00a0 ALBION \u00a0 3 \u00a0 \u00a0 LEEDS \u00a0 UNITED \u00a0 0 <\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n PREMIER LEAGUE - at the AMERICAN EXPRESS STADIUM, FALMER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matchday 10 saw Albion entertain newly-promoted Leeds United in the Premier at the Amex, the match being broadcast by BBC Radio Sussex Sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In their previous Premier League outing the Seagulls had lost 2-4 at Manchester United on\u00a0the 25 October and for the visit of Leeds Head Coach Fabian Hurzeler made one change to his starting line-up from the Manchester United game, with Diego Gomez replacing Maxim\u00a0De Cuyper. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subsequent to the Manchester United game, the Albion travelled to the Emirates Stadium to meet Arsenal on the 29 October in a Carabao Cup Fourth Round tie, which\u00a0Arsenal won 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leeds had gained promotion to the Premier last season after finishing top of the Sky Bet Championship and had made a reasonable start to this campaign. \u00a0Last time out Leeds had beaten West Ham United 2-1 at home in the Premier on the 24 October and for the visit to the Amex Head Coach Daniel Farke named an unchanged starting line-up and squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to kick-off there was a Remembrance tribute, which was impeccably observed by those present. \u00a0Albion were on the front foot from the off and early on Leeds keeper Lucas Perri\u00a0saved Yasin Ayari's shot. \u00a0On 11 minutes the Seagulls took the lead after Yankuba Minteh's through pass found Mats Wieffer free on the right and the Dutchman's cross found the\u00a0unmarked Danny Welbeck who slotted the ball home from close-in. \u00a0It was Welbeck's sixth goal of a productive season. \u00a01-0<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This early goal saw the Albion take the game to Leeds\u00a0which saw Welbeck fire wide of the target and then Minteh went on an exciting run, leaving\u00a0three opponents in his wake, before sending in a shot inches wide of the Leeds goal. \u00a0Prior to the break Sean Longstaff went close for the visitors but his shot cleared the bar without\u00a0troubling Albion keeper Bart Verbruggen. \u00a0A good first-half for the Seagulls and they deserved to be ahead. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Half-time 1-0.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The second-half started with the Albion in command as keeper Perri saved from Jan Paul\u00a0Van Hecke and then Georginio Rutter fired a shot just past the post. \u00a0The Seagulls increased their lead on 64 minutes when Minteh's electrifying run down the right ended with a pass to Diego Gomez and the Paraguayan calmly stroked the ball home for Albion's second. \u00a02-0<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six minutes later and Albion notched their third as Rutter's superb run down the left ended\u00a0with a cut-back to Gomez who tapped the ball home for his second and Albion's third of the afternoon. \u00a03-0.<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was still time for keeper Perri to make a smart save when deflecting away Ayari's piledriver. \u00a0In time added on there was a nice touch as the Albion gave two\u00a0Academy players their Albion debuts when Joe Knight substituted for Ayari and Nehemiah Oriola came on for Rutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Final-score 3-0.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Match stats<\/strong>: \u00a0 VERDICT<\/strong> \u00a0- \u00a0Albion bounced back from their Manchester United and Arsenal defeats with\u00a0a dominant and high intensity win over Leeds. \u00a0Outstanding for the Seagulls were goalscorers Danny Welbeck and Diego Gomez, plus Georginio Rutter and Yankuba Minteh. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Albion will need to show their best form this weekend when they travel to South London to meet Crystal Palace in front of the Sky Sports cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Albion line-up (4-2-3-1):- \u00a0Bart VERBRUGGEN; \u00a0Mats WIEFFER, Jan Paul VAN HECKE,\u00a0Lewis DUNK (Capt), Ferdi KADIOGLU; \u00a0Carlos BALEBA, Yasin AYARI (Joe KNIGHT 94); Yankuba MINTEH (Charalampos KOSTOULAS 88), Georginio RUTTER (Nehemiah ORIOLA 94), Diego GOMEZ (Tommy WATSON 81); \u00a0Danny WELBECK (Stefanos TZIMAS 81). \u00a0 Referee:<\/strong> \u00a0Michael Oliver (Northumberland). \u00a0 Yellow Card:<\/strong> \u00a0Leeds United: 1 - \u00a0Ethan Ampadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Possession:<\/strong> \u00a0Albion \u00a0- \u00a050%. \u00a0Leeds United \u00a0- \u00a050%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BBC Sport Player of the Match: <\/strong>\u00a0Danny Welbeck (Albion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attendance:<\/strong> \u00a031512.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEXT \u00a0GAME: 9 \u00a0NOVEMBER \u00a02025 \u00a0- \u00a0CRYSTAL \u00a0PALACE \u00a0- \u00a0AWAY - \u00a0PREMIER \u00a0LEAGUE \u00a0- KICK-OFF \u00a014.00. \u00a0\"LIVE\" \u00a0ON \u00a0SKY \u00a0SPORTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Kaye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1 \u00a0 NOVEMBER \u00a0 2025 \u00a0 \u00a0 BRIGHTON \u00a0 & \u00a0 HOVE \u00a0 ALBION \u00a0 3 \u00a0 \u00a0 LEEDS \u00a0 UNITED \u00a0 0 \u00a0 \u00a0 PREMIER LEAGUE - at the AMERICAN EXPRESS STADIUM, FALMER.
