Putting aside the disappointment of Solly's injury news and throwing away a 2-0 lead for a moment, we achieved/equalled some more records tonight.
As well as extending the club record for unbeaten league games (22 overall, 21 in one season):
We are now 17 games unbeaten in all competitions, equalling the club record from 1987/88.
We are now unbeaten in 12 away league games overall, a new club record.
We are also now unbeaten in 11 away league games in one season, another new club record.
Also unbeaten in 9 away games in all competitions, equalling the club record.
We have 43 points from the first 21 games, equalling the club record from 2001-02.
The only better start (I think!) was in 1926/27 (if there had been three points for a win, the total after 21 games would have been 44).
In terms of unbeaten starts to a second tier season, Brighton have now equalled West Ham's record of 21 games from 1990/91 (and will overtake them if we do not lose to Middlesbrough on Saturday).
The only team to have bettered this is Liverpool, in 1893/94.
