Brighton & Hove Albion beaten by AEK Athens on European debut

sportsmole.co.uk, 21 September 2023, 21:23
Brighton & Hove Albion's first-ever appearance in European competition ended in defeat as they were beaten 3-2 at home by AEK Athens this evening.

The Seagulls fell behind three times at the Amex Stadium and, while a pair of Joao Pedro penalties restored parity on the first two occasions, the visitors' this goal in the 84th minute proved to the winner.

Niclas Eliasson bundled home the late goal to earn all three points for AEK, who rise straight to the top of a difficult Group B after Marseille and Ajax played out a 3-3 draw in the group's other game.

Roberto De Zerbi's men went into the match off the back of a famous win at Old Trafford at the weekend, and they were firm favourites to make a winning start to their maiden European adventure in what had been tipped as their easiest match on paper in the whole group.

More to follow.
