Danny Welbeck scored a stunning goal for Brighton against Roma, reducing the deficit to 4-1 in the tie. Despite leading 1-0 in the match, Brighton still faced an uphill battle. Various substitutions were made as Brighton tried to stage a comeback, with De Zerbi making tactical changes. The atmosphere at the Amex was lively, with former Brighton head of recruitment Paul Winstanley and Mauricio Pochettino in attendance.
With less than half-an-hour left and still at least three goals needed, De Zerbi goes for it (of course he has). 5/6 players advanced in possession. Adingra and Fati on the wings, Welbeck and Ferguson through the middle. Gross is pushing further up too, 1-0. #BHAFC #ASRoma #UEL

It's Enciso and Lallana, 1-0 (53). Enciso still being eased back from his long lay-off. https://t.co/gcigE3y8X3
Lallana will be one of the players subbed. Interesting to see if the other is Enciso or Adingra. The latter has been a bit off it tonight, 1-0. #BHAFC #ASRoma #UEL
De Zerbi has just whistled to Fati and Buonanotte. Both will be on soon, 1-0. #BHAFC #ASRoma #UEL
