British Press: “Hard lesson from AEK in Brighton”

THE AEK’s big win at home to Brighton made a “noise” in England, as few expected such a result. The British media are talking about a hard lesson from the “Union” to De Jerby’s team in their European debut, while there is also a lot of mention of the absence of the team captain, Lewis Dunk.

BBC: “Brighton’s long-awaited debut in Europe was dealt a blow by the great power of Greece, AEK, who ‘froze’ De Jerby’s team by winning 3-2”.

Sky Sports: “It was a historic night for Brighton, who 26 years ago were in danger of extinction and making their first appearance in Europe, but the absence of injured captain Lewis Dunk proved decisive.”

Independent: “Brighton lost in the end in the first European match in their history. Joao Pedro scored two penalties but mistakes at the back cost the Seagulls their debut. The hosts were better, but they lacked the efficiency of AEK.”

Guardian: “Ponce ruined Brighton’s European debut. A hard lesson for Brighton, who lacked the leadership qualities of Lewis Dunk in midfield and were unable to deal with AEK’s counter-attacking threats.”

Daily Mail: “AEK spoiled Brighton’s party for their first European match”.

Brighton and Hove News: “It’s not a tragedy, but Brighton learned a harsh lesson on their Europa League debut. He equalized twice against the Greek champions AEK, who, however, scored the winning goal in the last minutes”.

Metro: “Brighton’s long-awaited European debut did not go as planned as they lost 3-2 to AEK in a thrilling encounter. After 2-2 Brighton looked far more likely to score a third but it was Ponce who struck on the counter-attack. Nightmare start for De Jerby’s side, who are in a complicated group with Marseille and Ajax.”
