Brightonhad a solid start to the new season. They kicked off their ELF League Cup campaign with two 2:0 victories over Cardiff and Swansea, and advanced to the last 16. The Seagulls also recorded 4 victories and 3 draws in the new Premier League season, which brought them 15 points and 4th place in the table.
After two victories against Brentford (1:0) and Leicester (2:1), the Seagulls had a series of three draws - with Crystal Palace (1:1), Arsenal (0:0) and Norwich City (0:0). On average, Brighton score 1 goal per game, which is quite a modest performance.
