  • I fainted on the plane, I almost died – Brighton attacker, Enciso

    I fainted on the plane, I almost died – Brighton attacker, Enciso

    Brighton’s Julio Enciso has confirmed he passed out on an airplane this week.

    The Paraguay international was traveling to South America for international duty.

    Enciso spoke about being tended to by another passenger after he felt unwell.

    The midfielder said: “My head hurts. I almost died, I fainted on the plane.

    “I was powerless, I didn’t eat or sleep well. At one point I got up to go to the bathroom and I felt like I was falling.”

    “A guy grabbed me and took me to the front; He made me drink coke and a Japanese soup and that did me good,” added the Brighton star.

  • Cole Palmer breaks EPL record, shines in Brighton win

    Cole Palmer breaks EPL record, shines in Brighton win

    Cole Palmer became the first player to score four first-half goals in a Premier League game as Chelsea swept away Brighton to go third in the table.

    In a remarkably entertaining match, Palmer, 22, also hit the post and had a further goal ruled out before the break as Chelsea’s rapid frontline cashed in on Brighton’s stubborn insistence on playing a high defensive line.

    Albion scored twice early on themselves as fans were treated at a sun-kissed Stamford Bridge, with both of their strikes owing something to errors from Chelsea’s former Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

    But, after Georginio Rutter headed the visitors ahead, Palmer took a firm grasp of the game with a stunning individual display.

    The England player had hit the post and put the ball in the net from an offside position before opening the scoring from Nicolas Jackson’s pass – with all three chances coming in the space of 138 breathless seconds.

    Palmer then scored his 10th consecutive successful penalty for Chelsea after the impressive Jadon Sancho was brought down, before capping a 10-minute hat-trick with a brilliant 25-yard free kick into the top corner.

    A fourth for Palmer, arrowed in from a Sancho pass, came soon after Carlos Baleba had seized on Sanchez’s poor ball out to give Brighton hope.

    Chelsea, who put six past Wolves last month, were again superb going forwards but Brighton’s refusal to change their approach after such a flurry of identical chances was bizarre, bordering on naive as young manager Fabian Hurzeler tasted defeat for the first time.

    Perhaps predictably the second half was far less incident-packed – although Palmer did waste a great chance for a fifth when he fired wide.

  • EPL: United coach, Ten Hag blames three players for loss to Brighton

    EPL: United coach, Ten Hag blames three players for loss to Brighton

    Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has criticized three of his players following their 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday.

    The Red Devils were hoping to build on their 1-0 victory in their Premier League opener as they traveled to the Amex Stadium.

    However, a first-half goal from former United striker Danny Welbeck put Brighton in the lead. Although Amad Diallo managed to equalize, Brighton secured a late winner through João Pedro. United also had a goal from Alejandro Garnacho disallowed after Joshua Zirkzee was ruled offside.

    For Brighton’s winning goal, Antony’s weak challenge allowed Simon Adingra to create space in the box. Meanwhile, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo, and Noussair Mazraoui failed to close down the player as the cross was delivered.

    “We didn’t stop the cross,” Ten Hag remarked. “There were three players. Adingra is a right-footed player—send him down the line, send him wide instead of letting him cut in and deliver the cross. We need to address this.”
