Get in! Stunning through ball Dunky!

Ian Darke is furious - he’s desperate for Brighton to lose.

 

[Mike Small]

Absolutely wonderful patience for that goal. Brilliant.

Excellent goal, rapid change of pace! Love it!

Terrific pass from Dunk

Maguire-esque

 

[US Seagull]

I'm not usually watching football at a deep level tactical understanding, but even I saw how that one worked. Ajax was holding back, and it was the second a couple of their players were baited into committing to challenge for the ball that we struck.

 

[chickens]

Fantastic to see. Ajax have to push forward now, bodes well for the second half.

 

[Somethingdean]

This has been very comfortable without us even playing very well. We need a second goal early doors second half and then we can sit back and relax.

 

[Mancgull]

Wonder how many passes in the build up to that goal? Must be 50 odd

 

[AlexBH]

Good timing for the goal. Ajax will have to step it up in the second half now, think they’re fans are getting fed up with their passing around the back, few groans of discontent from the away end. We just need to keep doing what we’re doing and more chances will come.

We're playing little one-twos round the edge of their area but none have quite worked yet. They will in the second-half.

Does the ref have a strange shape head?

Can’t work out whether it’s a shite haircut and/or a weird head. Either way, he’s not good.
