Brighton ease past ‘unrecognisable’ Ajax for first European win
European game in their history thanks to Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati goals
Report as Brighton win club’s first European game in their history; Seagulls defeat managerless Ajax in comfortable 2-0 Europa League home win; Dutch giants sit second-bottom in Eredivisie; goals from Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati give Brighton landmark victory.
Brighton won their first European game in the club’s history following a 2-0 Europa League home victory over beleaguered Dutch giants Ajax.
After a loss and a draw from their opening two games, the Seagulls finally breathed life into their debut European campaign thanks to goals from Joao Pedro and Ansu Fati.
The landmark victory over the 36-time Dutch champions, though, was an expected one with the Amsterdam side managerless and in poor form. The four-time European Cup winners have now won just two of their 12 games in all competitions this season and sit second-bottom in the Eredivisie.
Brighton took full advantage of Ajax’s disarray as they largely controlled the game at the Amex Stadium and were rewarded for their dominance in the 42nd minute as Pedro rebounded home from Kaoru Mitoma’s saved shot.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side doubled their lead eight minutes into the second half when Fati coolly slotted home from Simon Adingra’s clever pass.
