Fabian Hurzeler may have Brighton dreaming of Champions League football after yet another impressive win, but he will know that there is one massive obstacle currently holding his side back.
A Joao Pedro-inspired Brighton beat Bournemouth 2-1 on Saturday, despite Carlos Baleba’s red card reducing them to 10 for a cagey final half hour.
Yet it was only Brighton’s fifth away win in 23 attempts, and just a fourth from 16 in 2024.
In fact, the Seagulls have not won back-to-back league games away since September 2023, a shocking run for a team capable of challenging the best in the division.
