Aston Villa v Brighton Match Thread

There was a Villa player behind the goal line hidden by the goal.

But if he's off the pitch then he is disregarded isn' he? Or did that change when I wasn't looking?

No, he's assumed to be level with the perimeter if the pitch.

Otherwise you'd just have players running behind the goal to play people offside.

If that were true why did they take so long looking at it and draw a line from Pedro's back foot?

Get in!!!

Watkins scores a hat trick. Southgate thinks “must pick Dunk”.

Brilliant from those 2 again!

What a goal Ollie.  superb strike.

[Bad English]

Horseface just appeared on screen. Unclear whether he saw Watkins.

That's funny, but also probably true.

Lovely ball from Mcginn.

He looked mildly disinterested. Probably considering how to let Watkins down…

and Konsa (who is miles better than Dunk).

[Martyn Smith]

Thought he'd fluffed it with that slightly loose touch...

Great assist from Cap'n John

[Chris_Jephcott]

How great is it when Watkins is on form???

[JUAN PABLO]

[Steve67]

Mitoma would be great for us.
