They had now failed to score in six of their last 11 home games in the Premier League (one in four of the other five).

Comments:

League position: 9th With his 26th goal, Neal Maupay was now Brighton and Hove Albion’s joint-leading scorer in the Premier League along with Glenn Murray. Albion had now remained unbeated in seven consecutive games in the top division for the first time since November 1981 in League Division One. They had now conceded one or no goals in 18 of their 23 games in the Premier League so far in 2021-22 (two in each of four of the other five).
