In Yankuba Minteh, Brighton have yet another gem. The sharp piece of business they did in the summer of 2024 took time to come to the boil but is now cooking. Leeds found no answer to his thrust. Only errant finishing denied him a goal, leaving old reliable Danny Welbeck and two from Diego Gómez to bury Leeds. Gómez, the latest find on Brighton’s best-in-class conveyor belt of talent, most definitely has a scoring touch.
“Top performances from both of them,” said an approving Welbeck of Brighton’s match-winning wingers, brushing aside questions on his England chances. “Minteh was dangerous all day long.”
