NEW DELHI: Brighton & Hove Albion ensured they will play in Europe next season for the first time in their history after beating Southampton 3-1 in the Premier League at the Amex Stadium in Brighton on Sunday, with teenage striker Evan Ferguson scoring twice.
Brighton are sixth in the standings on 61 points and can no longer be caught by eighth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, meaning they are guaranteed a spot in Europe next season - either in the Europa League or the Europa Conference League.
