Brighton Vs Crawley Town | EFL Cup - Round 2 - Full Match Live Stream | 2024

Tyler to call the shots for you and this match today is Brighton and HOV albian against Crawley Town Brighton will play with these players today I think that back four is really important for them they've got to be strong and solid but they've got a bit of protection haven't they they have they should have more than enough I mean they're all good defenders in their own rights but uh in front of them they got players who are going to be working really hard whether they can be a fit on the front foot we'll wait and see and this is today's lineup for the visiting team well it's a variation on a theme really isn't it what we're saying is instead of a back three he's going to have a back five and those wide wing backs as we would call them are going to be more defensive I think he's a bit fearful of the opposition does look that way doesn't it I know he likes to try and convince us that those fullbacks are going to be uh V in forward but if they're under the C I think they'll just sit there nice and tight to the three Center halves can really get at the opposition here and it's going to be a goal kick [Applause] to [Applause] [Applause] Connelly Tama gets his foot in there Jose ES sko David pra gross Bruno prea Pascal cross and there's the interception [Applause] here's a chance to whip it in just working away to try and find an opening going forward well well a corner to come because of that deflection oh listen to those fans they excited they probably weren't expecting their team to get too many chances today but this might be one of them [Applause] in goes to Corner Defender did well to get to it but hasn't really finished the [Applause] job Stevens out into the wide areas now put into the middle good punch from the goalkeeper from the cross maybe the cross came in with a challenge and it's gone out for a [Applause] throw David Pera Stevens a good piece of Defending to stop the supply into the center and that's headed away for a throw Bruno could get his cross in now well that's good defending now doti he spotted a teammate and he's got the technique as well as the vision to switch the play oh here comes the support it's a good cross cleared away well away from goal test of his control now Jose es sko trying a bit too hard trying to force the pass and it went straight to an opponent good position for the cross and they've spread it out wide here Pascal [Applause] cross it's just a mistake really he's not even asked too much of the opponent it's just a mishit pass Pascal cross he can lay it off to the supporting player and they've got a man out wide well he tried to get the ball wide but it's been cut out he has cleared it well now that's a [Applause] throw another turnover in play here with that interception [Applause] prepa [Applause] Stevens opportunity to cross it now well then it goes good defensive clearance [Applause] there Karma now doti lost the ball Bruno with [Applause] proper cut out by the [Applause] defender here's young pain trying to find a way through here probing away Ro and that'll be a [Applause] throw josea Scar and that's a cross the fish the play [Applause] [Applause] using his had to go here he really gave it the laces there didn't he Alan yeah beautifully not a bad effort at all [Applause] Steven Bruna back or whether they're just doing this as a tactic it's hard to understand at the moment because they he's got his shot off now cleared the [Applause] ball Steven played back oh space to get the cross in now we have a corner to come by that deflection well only he will know whether he was going for goal there in the end he nearly scored in goes the corner keeper pushes it away from the goal and they get it away and it's going to be his throw here into the box that is a penalty kick but once the challenge came in he went down without any hesitation got his reward step up the penalty taken now to put his side in front yeah it was a clumsy Challenge and the lad stepping up he's normally reliable from 12 yards oh it's the [Applause] post got his laces behind that one took his eye off the ball but not effort [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] really get at the opposition here and that's into the gloves of the goalkeeper not the hardest thing he'll have to do today by any [Applause] means on the move and [Applause] a to young can whip it in now trying to slip it through it's broken down and they'll have to try and that's the way to defend make sure the opposition can't get on the ball in that part of the pitch [Applause] pay he can lay it off off to the supporting player all about picking the right pass now as he cuts it back Stevens Runo gross oh that's good [Applause] defending could get his now trying to pick out and that will the moment prepa [Applause] for a it's a very good effort earlier wasn't that Allan here it is [Applause] swung in from the corner good defensive clearance [Applause] there intercepting [Applause] Jose es sko and there is some backup for him in this position looking for an opening with some good control build it's not a cross that's caused problems and certainly not the goalkeeper got some room out here in the wide position [Applause] now p and here's the shot Corner given and they'll be to get this set piece right them into the lead he's put in the corner it's been wasted really stopped at the near [Applause] post and the referee says free kick [Applause] got to pass the ball a bit better than this if they're going to make progress giv it straight away room now out on the wing Murray got it back again from his teammate and the cross goes towards the far post oh it's the post clear Away by the defender he it's a good cross but they got it wide very well the chance to get the cross in but it's not turned out to be [Applause] and in it goes that's frustrating a corner there defended at the front post so easily any danger to the goal has gone with that clearance that's a great [Applause] interception well how defense sitting in their own half and letting the opposition pass the ball around in front of them maybe they feel that they're not going to be hurt he's coming forward with some danger oh now typified the competitive nature of this game that tackle it's only a to Shane Duffy Stevens gross trying to stretch the opposition using the wider area cross is [Applause] blocked maybe the counter can find some space here on the flanks trying to find an opening on this C attack presented using his physical power the ball a poor tackle but it hasn't done any harm and they've still got the ball on them Josh Payne he's cut that out well well [Applause] read [Applause] gross hascal cross very may look easy but the uh work off the ball's very important building steadily here keeping [Applause] possession that's going to be a corner [Applause] in goes to Corner to take the lead score well it's been coming and they've been playing well enough to deserve this goal well finished and very well merited that's top quality no doubt about it it's not a coincidence they've scored plenty of times from these of corner kick situations well they want to see this again this [Applause] goal been tight before that goal but now the manager is so pleased because I re he feels his team [Applause] that has open the scoring one nil Here Pay [Applause] Palmer and that will be a goal kick we can see it another time Alan this vital match leading goal really nice finish first time he's found that top left hand corner beautifully [Applause] Tam Murray chance for a teammate now got pass the ball a bit better than this if they're going to make progress giv it straight Duffy Stevens hascal cross attack [Applause] you can see what he was trying to do with the cross but a goal kick [Applause] but a space to go forward into with the [Applause] ball Palmer comes in strong cleared the ball now that that's a throw doti they're going to get a corner here because of that deflection [Applause] [Applause] Corner's [Applause] taken excellent interception shots on here they've got a corner down they want to make most of this [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and shoots gross Murray Pascal cross now a chance to get a bit of width into this attack a lot of in the goal but they still got the ball that's safely away Bruno [Applause] David Pera [Applause] toor [Applause] defended pain wasn't with [Applause] the the opp the goalkeeper fell Qui [Applause] after that's now def by [Applause] that there's the [Applause] interception Bruno striding forward purposefully a succession of Corners here [Applause] in goes to corner and that header takes the ball out of play Josh Payne [Applause] Tam Murray this is an exercise impatience as they try to get an opening well that's good defending it's behind for another corner [Applause] put the corner in the middle he must have thought he' scored from that distance the keeper had other ideas well they're keeping the pressure on with all these [Applause] corners comes the [Applause] corner he's got some room out here in the wide position gets his cross in only partially away from danger plenty of width for the team to attack into well that's halime and two nil with the score at the halfway mark I think that's a good performance isn't it Alan from him in the first half I would be happy with [Applause] that still great anticipation here as we get ready for the second [Applause] half they' set it up well for the cross in quickly using his physical power to protect the ball trying a bit too hard trying to force the pass and it went straight to an opponent guiding it through taking on the Defenders that would be a throw [Applause] ISO David propa Bruno Just the case of finding the spare man is always available in their own half and the opposition letting them do this at the moment although they are trailing put in from the wide area and they get it away opportunity to cross it now that's great defensive play from him again and it's back for a corner again not quite good enough so far Allan yeah well as you can see he's touched the ball very few times but you know he doesn't need too many touches to make a difference and in it goes back that's a decent header but not quite good enough well they got to get tighter to him because he's a really good header of the ball he showed it there [Applause] [Applause] Josh Payne [Applause] getting forward well as a team now well defended not just getting across he thought quickly as well strong play with his back to the goal helps the team this he'll be judged by this whether he can keep the ball better he needs to do better that's a combination of skill and will to hold off the opposition pra hascal gross well they're building steadily here working [Applause] away got the opposition backpedaling a little bit referee had a good look at that decided it's just a throw after the tackle Jose es sko David pra throw in to come [Applause] Jose es sko gross he could cross it now oh he spotted the pass and cut it out throw in coming [Applause] up Stevens Bruno an opponent around him that's good screening of the [Applause] football Pascal gross turning out to be a dream performance from this chap so far Alan yeah he's dominating things isn't he he's really vocal down there demanding the ball and his teammates only too willing to give it to him well that's a comfortable save from the header yeah that's a poor effort from the lad and really should have worked the keeper more than that now here's a chance to get out the opposition gross the shots on really hit well but didn't trouble the goalkeeper yeah maybe a little CER for him there [Applause] [Applause] good work really to read the intention of the [Applause] pass David propa Jose ES sko up for grabs here under some pressure he shielded it well gross Jose es sko it goes out wide again Murray you can see the deflection there Corner referee points for a corner excellent performance from the forward he's been taken off now and he's been right on his game Alan hasn't he oh hasn't he just and he's combined well with his teammates and when he's had to he's held it up let them support and really done all all aspects of his job corner swung in oh that's good defending Jose es sko well he has got a chance to get the cross in well that was a chance to really get in at the goalkeeper running off the defender but he's run offside defense squeezed they knew they' caught their man off David pra now this is an interesting attack maybe the cross J B comes in with a tackle that would be a [Applause] throw now DOI they've got the ball back by that interception [Applause] now DOI using his physical power to protect the [Applause] ball Jose es sko Bruno guided through now the possibility for a cross and that will end the threat at least for the moment J B could really get at the opposition here well the cross not really producing and the defender with time to clear Stevens Pascal cross great ball very sharp reaction save from close in a succession of Corners here Corner played in Duffy went with the header and he's good in the air too but not quite good enough then bit unfortunate next time maybe he'll bury [Applause] [Applause] Josh Payne now this looks promising going for goal they're marking as tightly as they can this corner could be a problem they've got to defend it well [Applause] [Applause] Corner played into the middle good defending at the front post but not such a good Corner shots on here got his laces behind that one took his eye off the ball but not a bad effort [Applause] they're looking good when they get the ball out wide as they've done here prer not rushing it here moving from one side to the other done well under pressure here to hold the ball as the challenge came in plenty of width for the team to an attack into good punch from the goalkeeper from the cross cleared Away by the defender defended well now he can cross it David pra we've got the away manager indicating he wants to make a substitution now what a header and what a goal well that header flew in for a fine goal well I've always been an admirer of good headers and this was certainly one of those a thumping effort what a strike that is the Defenders seem to lose the concentration almost they saw it coming from a long way out different angle on it here [Applause] I don't think we expected this such a one-sided Affair but look at the score line Palmer quick witted and quick in his movement too to intercept there opportunity in a wider area gets his cross in gone for the header and we love to see that especially you Alan but you could head it much much better than this one well you've got to be committed to those headers and he wasn't [Applause] quite Connelly doti could be dangerous you can see what he was trying to do with the cross but it's a goal kick [Applause] [Applause] now it goes into the wider areas where they've got a Winger waiting Jose ES sko tarma [Applause] got the opposition backpedaling a little bit this is a good opportunity great chance pretty close wasn't he despite the defender distracting him yeah it's a shot to nothing he probably didn't expect to score from [Applause] there he's going to make a change now he's cut that out well well [Applause] read to Young comes in with a tackle Stevens and 20 minutes to go steered through in with a Chance short getting set at the [Applause] [Applause] corner corner play into the middle well that's good defending [Applause] Duffy David perer that's a combination of skill and will to hold off the opposition patience is the name of the game at the moment headed back across goal he's got a chance to cross whipped in from the wide area well he used the inside of his head well but not the outside off Target yeah just slightly Miss time that one [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Jose es sko Jan B Bruno put in from the wide area good defensive clearance there can finish it off and this is a goal you can see what they were after here Martin they've been trying to get the ball out to that Winger and every opportunity during this match and they did it again and got the reward and what a fabulous cross that goal really takes your breath away well it's come in from a long way out and from that angle it's not always easy to finish Defenders caught out by it in the [Applause] end well it's great when a plan comes together and the manager doubly delighted with the way his team are playing [Applause] one team really on their game today the other very off color sometimes being favorite in a match can weigh heavily expectation and all that it's not a problem for this team is it no I think their manager will be delighted because they've not taken it easily at all they've given respect to their opponents but they've shown the class too time ticking on just over 15 minutes to [Applause] go ISO some options now for the pass prepa J [Applause] B here's the chance to get in the cross it's a pass another pass at the moment just giving them possession and not much more than that played down the wing keeping the wide attack going [Applause] he got some strength hasn't he to Shield the ball like that and he's back healed it nicely to a supporting [Applause] player J [Applause] B taking on the Defenders done well under pressure here to hold the ball as the challenge came in now he can cross it cleared Away by the defender and that header takes the ball out of play well you're looking at a group of very confident fans they believe their team have going to come away with a win here and I don't think we're going to disagree with them are we Alan well I don't think we are they're going through the repertoire all their favorite songs they can see the final whistle approaching quickly just working away to try and find an opening well that's and another the shot [Applause] oh it's off the bar here's young well the keeper might argue he had that covered because when it hits the bar or the post that's not actually a part of the goal is it and that's really the way to get the ball out of the danger zone they could pose some danger now going forward well they've set it up well for the cross it's not a cross that's caused the defense any problems and certainly not the goalkeeper using his physical power to protect the ball David prer looking for a through ball trying to lift it over the nearest Defender and he couldn't that's very good shielding of the ball [Applause] Stevens Bruno J B defended well that's a brilliant challenge well he has got a chance to get the cross in and that for sure is a goal kick now he's a bit disappointed he's going to be taken off here and the manager may be saving him for another day but also allowing him to get the full appreciation from from the fans well he was enjoying it I don't think he wanted to come off but uh he's a key part of this team he's got to be [Applause] protected Josh [Applause] Payne it's young with the ball and opponent around him that's good screening of the football a bit of pressure on the play that's why it's gone out got to keep the ball here under some pressure he's got his tackle in and the ball's gone out [Applause] now prea Bruno David propa theyve become pass Masters really with great vision [Applause] here that's a combination of skill and will to hold off the opp and shots and that is quite a wild effort at goal although he got good contact on the [Applause] [Applause] ball [Applause] Connelly deflected out for a throw to Connelly he screened the ball well there he's got his shot off now the Defenders managed to get in the way there Safety First there this has been called a football match but it hasn't been much of a matchup between the two sides the winners conclusively at their best and the losers just aching to hear the final whistle now some options now for the pass David propa Jose es [Applause] sko he could cross it from here Bruno J B you can see the deflection there corner [Applause] [Music] and in it goes well he's hit the man guarding the front post it's a poor Corner J B Duffy now he can cross it and we'll start again with a goal kick [Applause] Conelly put into the middle and they get it away that header takes the ball out of play that could have got through there but the defender was absolutely on top of his game Stevens [Applause] Bruno he's got some strength hasn't he to Shield the ball like that that will help ease the pressure closing him down under some pressure he shielded it well there's a dangerous feel to this attack it's looking good from their point of view in towards the near post it's not a cross that's caused the defense any problems and certainly not the goalkeeper David pra Jose es sko well the results not in the bag yet because we got 5 minutes of added time yeah nervous moments to come here because the home team leading by a goal it's not looked a secure lead to me looking for teammates in the middle [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to [Applause] Young coming on strong and looking to play their way through now chance to go at the opposition that's very good shielding of the ball and here's the shot kept his concentration the goalkeeper and because of that hold of the ball and that's it last blast on the whistle from the ref
