The commentator's pronunciation of Estupiñán is winding me up.



It isn't. He's emphasising the 'pin' and adding his own 'i' sound. It obviously doesn't matter, but I'm a petty individual.

Ess too pin ian was how I heard it, which looks right...

I’d go for es-too-pin-yan

I thought he was going to smash the third in but their defender hove into view and the rest is history.

Joao Pedro, Tariq Lamptey and Ansu Fati replace Evan Ferguson, Pervis Estupinan and Danny Welbeck as the second half gets going.

The ref's been great! Others would have VAR'd us off for the 2nd and 3rd goals.

Are they going for a most fouls per minute record or something?...

Brighton have scored for 22 consecutive league games. Would be amazing if they don't get one today.

OK, so the one thing we needed to do was to not concede in the first few minutes...
