Pascal Struijk sent off as Brighton see off Sunderland 2-0
Brighton won 2-0 at the Stadium of Light, but had to survive much of the second half with ten men after Struijk’s red card.
Brighton beat Sunderland 2-0 at the Stadium of Light despite playing most of the second half with ten men after Pascal Struijk (Brighton) was shown a controversial red card.
The visitors managed the disruption well: once they had their advantage, they tightened up and protected the score even with the extra challenge of defending in a man-down situation. BBC Sport highlights the red as the turning point, but it wasn’t enough to stop Brighton continuing their strong start to the new Premier League season.
