Premier League: but where will Brighton stop?

If there is one surprise at the start of the Premier League, it is Brighton. Before going to Liverpool on Sunday (3 p.

) for the 8th day of the championship, Fabien Hürzeler's men occupy 3rd place, 5 lengths from Manchester City and 2 from Arsenal, whom they also beat 3-0 in mid-September (the only defeat of the season for the Gunners so far). Weekend after weekend, they impress after scoring 5 at Crystal Palace last Sunday, including 3 in the first 10 minutes.

They are the revelation of the season. I love the way they play, says Jamie Carragher.

They remind me a bit of Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool team: very aggressive, very fast, very direct. » The Seagulls are thrilling everyone in England.

The statistics are also there to talk about it. They have the best attack (23 goals ahead of City, 19) and the best defense (5 goals conceded, tied with Arsenal).

Proof of the incredible confidence that dominates this locker room at the moment, Diego Gómez's goal scored from half the field against the Eagles. When I received the ball, I saw that the goalkeeper was slightly forward rewound the hero of the day. After scoring, I didn't know where to go or what to do.

It's a question of fraternity and intensity. We continue to work like this in training and in matches.

He is not the only one like the Croatian central defender Luka Vuskovic (19 years old), recruited €54 million from Tottenham this summer and the most used outfield player behind the essential Pascal Gross, elected player of the month for September.

Olivier Boscagli is also doing well after a difficult first season as a replacement central defender.
