Brighton and Hove Albion 3 Roma 0Rome wasn’t built in a day, they say, and the 2026-27 Albion team is also a work in progress. Gerorginio Rutter put Albion ahead after 29 minutes with a spectacular curling effort from 20 yards. Yasin Ayari scored either side of half time to make it 3-0 – and that was arrivederci Roma. Apart from their goals, both scorers looked in good form, Georginio a constant danger and Ayari dominating in midfield. Ten minutes later, Yankuba Minteh charged clear only to be overtaken at the last by the speedy Wesley.
