Newcastle United's performance in the UEFA Champions League was brought back down to earth by Borussia Dortmund. Brighton & Hove Albion took a deserved lead against Ajax in the UEFA Europa League, with Ajax offering little threat in the first half. Brighton kept their first clean sheet of the season against Ajax, which was unexpected as Ajax is a European Cup/Champions League winner. Brighton is on track for their first win in six games.
So, it's the last week of October, and Brighton have just kept their first clean sheet of the season. Against Ajax. Funny old world... #BHAFC
A pretty awful Ajax are just what Brighton needed. On course for a first win in six games, all against European Cup/Champions League winners, and a first clean sheet of the season, 2-0 (77). De Zerbi has been longing for a shut out. #BHAFC #BHAAJA #UEL
Ajax watching Brighton thinking what it used to be.
Brighton deserve their lead. Ajax have been poor. Very little threat from them in that first half. #BHAFC #BHAAJA #UEL
