He appeared to jar an ankle as he stretched to make a block and limped off looking dejected, replaced by Billy Gilmour with Pascal Gross moving to left back where Milner had been deputising.<\/p>\n<p>First-choice left back Estupinan was on bench after missing six games but De Zerbi did not want him to expose him to a long shift so the Ecuardorian came on in the 65th minute and was off again 12 minutes later.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/19\/77620875-12731619-image-a-1_1699558706632.jpg\" height=\"778\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ansu Fati and Brighton&#8217;s\u00a0Simon Adingra celebrate in the Johan Cruyff Arena<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/19\/77621471-12731619-image-a-18_1699559139932.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Former Tottenham winger Steven Bergwijn pictured on the night of Ajax&#8217;s defeat<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Dunk, who has been selected by England for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia, pulled up with a groin problem near the end of the first half and did not come back out for the second.<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Ajax 4231: Ramaj 6; Gaaei 5 (Sosa 57, 6), Rensch 6 (Mikautadze 78), Sutalo 6, Hato 5; Vos 5.5 (Tahirovic 72, ) Taylor 5 (Akpom 46, 6.5); Berghuis 6, Hlynsson 6 (Borges 57, 6), Bergwijn 6; Brobbey 7.<\/p>\n<p>Subs: Pasveer, Setford, Salah-Eddine, Medic, Avila, Godts, Martha<\/p>\n<p>Manager: John van\u2019t Schip 6<\/p>\n<p>Brighton 4231: Verbruggen 6.5; Milner (Gilmour 8, 7), Van Hecke 7.5, Dunk 7 (Julio 46, 6.5), Veltman 6.5; Dahoud 6 (Estupinan 65, (Baleba 77), Gross 6; Adingra 7.5, Fati 8 (Ferguson 65, 6), Mitoma 6; Pedro 7.5.<\/p>\n<p>Subs: Steele, McGill, Webster, Lallana, Baleba, Buonanotte, Hinshelwood, Duffus<\/p>\n<p>Goals: Fati 15, Adingra 53,<\/p>\n<p>Bookings: Pedro, Van Hecke,<\/p>\n<p>Manager: Roberto de Zerbi 7<\/p>\n<p>Ref: Nikola Dabanovic (Montenegro) 6.5<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Ajax could not find the net. They are the only team to play Brighton this season without scoring, and they have done so twice. At least they played with a greater sense of adventure than they showed in defeat at the Amex, two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Their early season crisis has eased a little since John van t\u2019Schip took interim charge of the team and replenished confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Teenager Kristian Hlynsson produced the first meaningful effort of the night, a shot from distance sent skipping across the turf and saved diving low to his left by Bart Verbruggen, Brighton\u2019s Dutch goalkeeper, who made his international debut in this stadium against France, last month.<\/p>\n<p>Van t\u2019Schip\u2019s team gifted their visitors the opener, however, when Silvano Vos telegraphed a pass in his own half and Adingra intercepted. Joao Pedro spun away to make the space and Fati dashed into it, collected Adingra\u2019s pass and slid an accurate finish past goalkeeper Diant Ramaj.<\/p>\n<p>It was his fourth Brighton goal, his third in the last five appearances and the Spain forward on loan from Barcelona is becoming influential in De Zerbi\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>Ajax dominated much of the possession until half time without creating chances. Brighton frustrated them and almost stretched their lead before the interval. Once again, Adringra and Fati linked up sweetly on the right. This time to create a chance for Adringa from an angle. Ramaj saved it with his left foot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/19\/77621489-12731619-image-a-19_1699559143926.jpg\" height=\"950\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi will be delighted with Brighton&#8217;s run of form in the Europa League so far<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/19\/77621487-12731619-image-a-20_1699559147078.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ansu Fati celebrates after scoring the first goal of their game against Ajax in the 14th minute<\/p>\n<p>The home crowd cheered Chuba Akpom into the fray but the Championship\u2019s player of the year, signed from Middlesbrough, could do nothing as the four times European champions slipped further behind.<\/p>\n<p>This time Fati was creator with a jinking run to drag the Ajax defence out of shape and a simple pass to Adingra, coming in from the right to clip a shot past Ramaj as the \u2018keeper came sliding out.<\/p>\n<p>Ajax rallied late but their night was summed up by Brian Brobbey, whose side-foot volley in the 73rd minute hit the inside of one post, rolled along the goal line, his the other post and spun out.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton scrambled it to safety and survived a strong finish by the Dutch to complete a win they will remember for many years in Sussex by the sea.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12731619\/Ajax-0-2-Brighton-Seagulls-claim-famous-win-Amsterdam-thanks-goals-Ansu-Fati-Simon-Adingra.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ajax 0-2 Brighton: The Seagulls claim a famous win in Amsterdam thanks to goals from Ansu Fati and Simon Adingra boosting Brighton&#8217;s hopes of qualifying to the next round After making a slow start to the Europa League, Brighton are poised to progress Ajax are the only team to play Brighton this season and not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296036,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
