Fans rejoiced as Albion secured a nervy 2-1 win against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
The away fans showed real will and determination as they braved Storm Bert to support the Albion to their victory.
Joao Pedro scored an early goal before Kaoru Mitoma doubled the lead shortly after the break.
However, Brighton faced late pressure after Carlos Baleba was sent off before the hour mark.
David Brooks narrowed the gap in added time, and Antoine Semenyo hit the crossbar in the dying seconds, but Brighton managed to hold on for the win.
This victory marks Fabian Hurzeler’s fourth win in six Premier League matches, maintaining his impressive start in the league.
The match, unfortunately scheduled during Storm Bert, saw both teams battling not only each other but also strong winds and heavy rain.
Brighton made a quick start, as instructed by Hurzeler following their comeback win against Manchester City two weeks ago.
Despite the challenging weather conditions and playing a significant portion of the second half with 10 men, Brighton showed determination to maintain their lead and secure the three points.
This win further cements Hurzeler’s positive impact on the team’s performance as they continue to climb the Premier League table.
For Bournemouth, the result was a hard-fought defeat, as they were unable to capitalise on their late momentum.
