Aston Villa suffered a setback against Brighton after a tiring and disappointing performance with Ezri Konsa late penalty leading to their defeat. Brighton rejuvenated under Roberto De Zerbi capitalized on Villa fatigue and tactical struggles securing a victory despite Villa attempts to regain control.

Unai Emery, Villa’s manager acknowledged his team’s shortcomings and the need for improvement. Both teams faced challenges with injuries and fatigue but Brighton resilience and Adingra impact proved decisive. Despite missed opportunities, Villa lacked creativity and struggled to pose a threat.

Emery frustration was evident as his team failed to maintain their momentum emphasizing the importance of recovery and regaining their form.
