‘He’s learning’ – Solly March shares Fabian Hurzeler verdict after Premier League win over West Ham
Brighton started the game in positive fashion, following a poor 4-2 loss away to Brentford last time out. Albion were able to capitalise on their strong start with a fantastic curling strike from Yasin Ayari. His goal put Brighton 1-0 in the 13th minute.
However, Brighton were caught out by West Ham in the 48th minute. Kudus was able to strike the ball through Albion keeper Bart Verbruggen’s legs to make it 1-1.
Brighton will be kicking themselves about how the goal came for The Hammers. Then West Ham were able to go 2-1 in the 83rd minute thanks to Jarrod Bowen’s sublime cross and an acrobatic header from Tomas Soucek.
In the 89th minute, Albion were able to get a goal back to make it 2-2. Japanese international Karou Mitoma met Gruda’s headed pass into the box.
It was a scramble at the end, but Brighton were able to come out on top in the 90+2 minute of added time. Carlos Baleba had a shot from range and curled it in beautifully.
The game ended 3-2 to the Albion, with fans going bonkers at full-time.
Another big boost for Albion was the return of Solly March. He had his first start against the Hammers on Saturday, April 26.
The English midfielder returned from a serious ACL injury last December in the 0-0 draw against Brentford and has had only made a handful of top-flight appearances from the bench since.
After the victory, Solly March spoke to Sussex World.
We asked for his thoughts on Hurzeler as a coach and if players had to adapt to his style, compared to former coach Roberto De Zerbi.
Solly March said: “I think we play in similar ways.
“Obviously, he’s young, but everyone respects him and listens to his advice.
“He’s probably learning as well about everything he does day-to-day.
“I think it’s everything about the club, the players, the managers, going in the right direction.”
Brighton Loan Report: Multiple Players Shine In Top Leagues
Brighton has a lot of talented young players. Not all of these players are ready/have the experience to start for the first team, with it being very competitive. Here on loan, these players have the chance to prove themselves to their parent club and make an impression at a normally lower level. Here is Brighton’s loan report for this week, with one shining against a top Premier League team and a young South American taking Ligue 1 by storm.
Brighton Loan Report: Former Starter Carries On To Impress In Premier League
Julio Enciso
A bright spark in a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Arsenal. Enciso was a good hand in the Ipswich team. He drove forward when he could, and took the ball past players but had a lack of options and a number of red shirts in his way. He was subbed off at halftime after Ipswich’s game plan was compromised due to a red card. They did not look the same without him.
Facundo Buonanotte
He was brought off the bench with 30 minutes left as Leicester looked to hold onto a 0-0 draw against league leaders Liverpool. He had two shots late in the game which did not trouble Alisson, but could not help the inevitable relegation to the Championship for Leicester to happen.
