Brighton cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory over 10-man Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

The Seagulls controlled proceedings from the get-go, and their high pressing was rewarded in style in the 15th minute thanks to another sensational goal from Diego Gomez.

After a cross was cleared his way, the Paraguayan brought the ball under control, took a second touch and unleashed a wicked left-footed strike that whistled into the top corner.

Things then went from bad to worse for Brentford in the 23rd minute when Igor Thiago was shown a red card for violent conduct after VAR ruled that the Brazilian had shoved Chema Andres in the face with force.
