Summary

Brighton hosted Luton Town in the opening game of the season on 12 August, with this fixture being the Hatters Premier League debut. The Albion came out superior winning 4–1, with several players making their Brighton debuts including goalscorers João Pedro and Simon Adingra.[1] The Albion followed their previous result with another 4–1 win this time away at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the second weekend of the season.[2] However, they could not repeat this in their third, a 3–1 home loss against West Ham where Pascal Groß became Brighton's all time Premier League top scorer with his consolation strike in the match taking his tally to 27 top flight goals.[3]

A week later on 2 September, Brighton beat Champions League participants Newcastle United 3–1 on Sussex soil with Evan Ferguson scoring his first career hat-trick. He became only the second non-English player with 10 Premier League goal involvements aged 18 or under, an achievement he shares with Cesc Fàbregas.[4]

On Brighton's European debut on 21 September, Brighton fell to a 3–2 home defeat to Greek champions AEK Athens, with both of Brighton's goals coming from João Pedro's spot kicks.[5] On 5 October, in their first ever away game in Europe, Brighton came from two down to draw 2–2 with Pascal Groß scoring his first European goal. Pedro scored the equaliser, hitting home his third penalty in two Europa League matches.[6]
