Sam Cunningham went down to Sussex by the Sea, and here’s their report. Thanks for reading this MBM.

His opposite number Arne Slot gives TNT his verdict. “First half was an equal game … it was a big blow that Hugo [Ekitike] had to go off after one or two minutes … the second half Brighton were the better team … [Ekitike] going off and not being able to help the team is just a bit of bad luck … it is not like he will be out for three months but it is bad enough that he wasn’t able to continue … it is clear that we have lost a lot of points after playing in Europe … but today we also have to give credit to Brighton … what I thought was, you won’t need 24 points to qualify and hopefully I am right because we aren’t able to get 24 points anymore … as much as I dislike us losing here today, Brighton away has always been a difficult one … there are other games where we should have picked up more points, like last week against Tottenham, that is far more unacceptable than this … but even away at Brighton, a club like Liverpool should be able to get a result.”
