Brighton secured their first away win of the season in impressive style on Sunday afternoon, cruising to a 5-0 victory over Premier League newcomers Coventry City.

The Seagulls took the lead after 35 minutes through Charalampos Kostoulas, who received the ball on the half-turn before flicking a header over Ethan Pinnock and directing his strike into the bottom corner and beyond Carl Rushworth.

Malick Yalcouye then continued his rich vein of form with a solo goal of his own, latching on to a loose pass before striding away from the trailing Coventry backline and tucking a neat strike into the bottom corner in the 51st minute.
