Match Of The Day expert tells what was ‘worrying’ for Albion

The Argus · By Brian Owen

But he accepted they “maybe just about” deserved their point.

Luka Vuskovic headed home at a corner to secure a 1-1 scoreline after Leeds had gone ahead in the first half.

The Seagulls trailed for almost an hour in the contest having been behind for all but the opening three minutes at Chelsea a week earlier.

The BBC’s flagship highlights programme has largely ignored Albion when assessing those two matches.

Four aspects of Chelsea’s play were put under the spotlight after their 4-3 win with their opponents not getting a mention.

There was passing reference to Fabian Hurzeler’s side this time as former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy and ex-Luton boss Rob Edwards looked at the action from the Amex.

Murphy said: “Brighton are a hell of a good team and to go there and dominate them is worrying for Brighton because they started last week at Chelsea poorly as well.”

He described Ao Tanaka’s disallowed goal, which might have put Leeds 2-0 up, as the pivotal moment of the afternoon.

Albion stepped up a gear soon after that and might even have won the game late on.

Murphy said: “When that got disallowed, Brighton improved and with the chances they had later on maybe just about edged a draw.”

Edwards said he agreed with Murphy and added: “The way the game panned out, the chances they had, maybe they should have won.”
