Match Recap

Brighton did not just beat Coventry at the Coventry Building Society Arena, they dismantled them, piece by piece, across ninety-four minutes. Five different scorers, zero reply from the hosts. Charalampos Kostoulas opened the account in the 35th minute, Malick Yalcouyé added a second just after the break, and Pascal Groß made it three in the 70th before the contest had any chance of turning. Defender Lewis Dunk turned finisher in the 83rd minute, and Yasin Ayari rubbed it in deep into stoppage time. For Coventry, it is four Premier League games, four defeats, zero points — a bottom-place side still searching for any foothold at this level. Brighton, sitting fourth with seven points, look genuinely dangerous going forward, spreading the goals across the entire squad rather than leaning on one striker. Ayari's 90th-minute finish — after the game was already won — is the one moment that captures just how total Brighton's afternoon was.
