The Pochettino Story | Season 2

Seagulls capitalize on easy fixtures to stay in top four race
Marcus Edwards scored a terrific individual goal against his old team to secure a thrilling point against Tottenham. Tottenham remain 7 points ahead of second place Liverpool but struggled to find the second goal against a energized Brighton side. The next two matches for Brighton were against sides they should be beating. Ipswich, sitting on 4 points and already relegated, were brushed aside by the two new signings both scoring and assisting the other in the match.
Everton were just as easy despite the score line. Brighton had 68% possession and out-shot the Toffees 18-2 in the match. With everyone healthy and the new signings fitting in, Brighton are looking like a side ready for Europe.
"They are unbeaten in their last 8 matches in all comps and have won 7 of them. This is a scary side that Pochettino is putting together already. The board has already shown they will spend money, Pochettino has shown he knows the pieces needed. I am really excited to see this side continue to grow and what can happen with a few more pieces added." TheAthleticFC Brighton and Hove Albion correspondent Andy Naylor wrote after the match.
Brighton have come a long way to see Everton as an easy fixture. Roll back the years to the 1980's with Brighton in the 2nd and 3rd tier and Everton winning league titles and the Cup Winners Cup too. I suppose a lot has happened since then.
