Brighton vs Aston Villa Match Thread

BBC have given Guessand an assist for the first Ollie goal?? He hasn't touched the ball yet.

We play down the wings and over the top and suddenly have 1.5 xG at halftime. We don't normally reach that in the full 90.

Yep a hat trick. 
Written in the stars.

Him and Ollie and the defender all went in. It came off one of them.

The e one we thought over the line. Did it just hit the post?

Think so, but there may have been a handball, but no review. Bonkers end to the half all round.

He pretty much tried to catch the ball. Ref waiting for the call to say it crossed the line missed it completely. They near catch us on break after it. Then we break on them, Rogers with NFL style pass to set Ollie free. Cracking finish.

We also had a decent shout for two penos. Ollie missed a really good chance from another Rogers pass. Was the other one Watkins missed offside?

Figures based on how "easy" the chances are to score by percentage scored in similar conditions previously. We have created some really good chances to score and took two of them.

Who made that pass for the second?

[wolfman999]

Jamie Carragher will be furious we scored from inside the penalty area. That fucks up his theory that we can only score from 30 yards, which we can't keep doing, and so will eventually end up in 19th place

[Villa Lew]

Both goals from inside the box unbelieveable.

[wolfman999]

No changes at half time?

Well saved wasn't it but the flag did go up. Don't know if it was though.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

evan still on then

[SoccerHQ]

Is Guessand genuinely still on the pitch? Amazed.

[PeterWithesShin]

Both goals are what we've been missing this season. A goalmouth scramble and then a ball for Ollie to run onto.
