Brighton show no mercy to the promoted side
Coventry City were hoping for their first point of the season, but Brighton had no intention of making things easy. The Seagulls demolished Coventry 5:0 in Sunday's match and added more goals to their already impressive tally — 13 in four matches is one of the outstanding scoring records of the early season.
Brighton played fast, intricate football with great joy and confidence. Coventry were helpless — across the entire match they did not register a single shot on target. The 0:5 scoreline is brutal, but it accurately reflects Brighton's total dominance. This is the gulf in class between a side struggling to survive in the division and one of its best-performing teams.
Alarm bells at Coventry
Coventry City have zero points and a 0:10 goal difference after four rounds. It is one of the worst starts by a promoted side in the Premier League in many years. The manager must find answers quickly — upcoming fixtures against strong opponents could deepen the crisis. For now, Coventry are rooted to the bottom of the table and every single point will be priceless.
