Premier League winners and losers: Jaissle in four-way sack race as Brighton and Chelsea impress

Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Matthias Jaissle and Nottingham Forest are circling the Premier League drain, while Brighton enjoy themselves. Over to Spurs to make everyone feel better tonight.

Brighton supporters Their last eight Premier League wins have all been accompanied by clean sheets, at an aggregate scoreline of 27-0. Their goal difference after seven games has only been bettered by five teams in Premier League history.

Their total goals scored after seven games ranks joint fourth. Brighton have thrashed their most bitter Premier League rivals, are through in the Carabao Cup and top of the Conference League league phase as absurdly heavy favourites.

Fabian Hurzeler is right: "enjoy a beer or something else and enjoy wearing the Seagulls' colours". But he is oh so wrong about not looking atthe table.

Sod that and get it framed. Olivier Boscagli Remarkable vision and accuracy for the assist to Diego Gomez's tap-in.

Alvaro Arbeloa It might well turn out to be terminal lucidity,so unrelenting was the mess Arbeloa seemed to have created at Fulham. But the praise ought to register somewhere on the same volume scale as the disrespect.

And with this first victory of the season came confirmation that Arbeloa can actually coach a solid performance before utilising his bench effectively. Fulham have dropped seven points to goals scored in or after the 75th minute against Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Ipswich this season.

Their supporters might well have feared the worst when Hull made their fifth change by that mark, with the Cottagers yet to introduce a single substitute at 1-0 up. But it was a calculated call based on a fair assessment of a game the hosts dominated.

"When teams change things, it's because things aren't going the way they planned," Arbeloa said afterwards, damning his reign up to that point as much as Hull at the weekend, before adding "we didn't feel the need to change things" despite the opponent's increasingly desperate switches. Fulham saw the game out with the midfield authority of Tom Cairney, rather than throwing on a Real Madrid academy graduate to drown in a sea of duels and second balls.
