BRIGHTON showed they are fast finding their way in continental competition by easing past Ajax in front of 30,540 fans yesterday evening.

Goals from Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati helped the Seagulls to a first ever victory in a competitive European tournament. It was a comfortable triumph too.

Albion underlined they are quick learners by dispatching Ajax to third place in Europa League Group B, level on points with AEK Athens — and with a real chance of qualifying from this group should they continue their improved form.
