Coventry City 0-5 Brighton Player Ratings: Awoniyi Red Card Cost Lampard's Men As Clinical Seagulls Put Five Past 10-Man Coventry

A matchday 4 fixture at the Coventry Building Society Arena saw Brighton hammer past newcomers Coventry City to return to winning ways in this season's Premier League. Fabian Hürzeler's side were always on cruise control in this game, managing more xG and possession than the home side.

Their first goal came in the 35th minute from Charalampos Kostoulas, who received a pass from Pascal Groß and nodded the ball away from Ethan Pinnock to finish at the far post of a flat-footed Carl Rushworth to give Brighton & Hove Albion the lead.

Malick Junior Yalcouyé doubled the lead through a solo effort in the 51st minute, catching Coventry City by surprise. Things worsened for the hosts, as striker Taiwo Awoniyi was sent off for elbowing Maxim De Cuyper while contesting for an aerial ball.

Bobby Thomas gave away a penalty in the 68th minute, as he fouled Kostoulas, who was on his way to meet a cross from Diego Gómez. Groß stepped up and dispatched his spot kick efficiently to take Coventry completely out of the game.

Lewis Dunk unleashed a 30-yard banger to make it four for Brighton, and even the travelling fans were surprised to see the centre-back pull off a miraculous shot towards the end of the game. Yasin Ayari curled one in injury time to top off a five-star performance from the Seagulls.
